Is there a difference between a Message Queue and a Task Schedule?

I wish to make a system where the user can put an action to be done at some point.
for example: make X on Thursday at 15 o'clock
and I know what I’m doing is a Task Schedule, but along the way I found several terms that left me confused, such as Job Scheduler libraries(Agendajs), Message Queue(Bull), Task Queue(Celery), and the term Broker

So I don’t know if they’re different ways of doing the same thing, or if they’re really different things that can also solve that problem

In the end I realized that Celery and the term Broker are parts of a system of MQ

    Job/task Scheduler means task scheduler. Message Queue means Message queue and the concept is just to store messages or byte arrays in a queue and pick up on the other side (or distribute in a spread way to a set of consumers). I don’t know if they use each other.
