The first one is UK spelling, the second one is US spelling. They are pronounced the same and have exactly the same meaning.

Your “dude” would (probably) mean your boyfriend (in American slang). I believe you meant “doubt” (duda), but we don’t say that in English. We would actually say “question.”

As Phil says, it's an AmE v BrE difference, and this doesn't just apply to gerunds. In British English, we always use 'ce' for the noun and 'se' for verb. So we say:

I need more practice.

Tennis practice is at 10 am

but:

I practised every day.

Do you want to practise English with me?*

American English doesn't have this distinction. In AmE, both the verb and the noun are written as practice.

* This follows the same pattern as advice (noun) and advise (verb). However, while advice and advise are pronounced differently - with an /s/ and a /z/ sound respectively - practice and practise are both pronounced with an /s/ sound. And while AmE doesn't use the verb spelling practise, it does use the verb spelling advise.

You can use either practising or practicing... it really just depends on the country that you are in. Practising is British and Practicing is American, but both are accepted
