Direct questions are the "normal" questions that we can ask friends, family members, and people who we know well. 

Example of a direct question:
"Where's the bathroom?"

Indirect questions are a little more formal and polite. We use them when talking to a person we don't know very well, or in professional situations, and their form is a little different.

Example of an indirect question:
"Could you tell me where the bathroom is?"
