While means during.
When indicates time.

 

[usman akram]

While refers to duration (during the time proceeding). When refer to specific time.

 

[Fatima Rizvi]

When refers to a time that a single action happened, but while refers to things that are occurring at the same time.

 

[mehreensaeed]

Both while and when are used when two things happen at the same time, but we tend to use while with two continuous actions and when with two single actions.
