A Strike is an attack with a Weapon you are holding.
It consists of a Hit roll, where if the roll exceeds the target’s AC, it hits and you roll damage.
Then a Damage roll, which depends on the Weapon and any abilities you may have which is then subtracted from the targets HP.

A Critical Strike is Strike that either rolled a Nat 20 on the Hit roll or a Hit roll that exceeds the targets AC by 10.
A Critical Strike doubles the Dice Value of the Strike.
