別 is an imperative. Essentially you are ordering people not to speak. 不 on the other hand is a declarative, sort of like a statement. Since Chinese is a pro-drop language, meaning that subjects aren't obligatory, 不說話 could mean 'someone does not speak' depending on the context.

不 = not, no, negation. 别 = short for 不要, so 不说话 = no talking 别说话 = don't talk.

“不说话” just like you can speak but you don't want to and “别说话” is you want to speak but not allowed
