They basically mean the same thing, but their usage is different.
“Bullshit!” - used when one believes something to be grossly untrue or stupid
“Shit!” - an exclamation of frustration, surprise, or anger.
Also, if someone is kidding with you or is saying something untrue, you say “Are you shitting me?”, not “Are you bullshitting me?”
Bullshit has a much more limited, but still expressive, range than shit.
Also, please know these are curse words that could possibly be offensive.
- English (US)
Bullshit means a lie or a bad deal. Shit can mean great or awful depending on context. If it it means great, it's more likely to have "the" in front of it. Literally, it means defecation.
