sparkling drink (or, often, “sparkling beverage”) = carbonated water/seltzer
pop = a regional variation of soda (e.g., Coke, Sprite) in the US (usually the Midwest [e.g., Ohio, Michigan] and further west [e.g., Minnesota, North Dakota] but not California)
fizzy drink = soda in the UK, Australia and New Zealand (if you say that in the US people will picture something like 베로카, even though that specifically does not exist in the US)
soft drink = usually soda in North America (“soft” as opposed to drinks that are “hard” (i.e., alcoholic beverages))
pop = a regional variation of soda (e.g., Coke, Sprite) in the US (usually the Midwest [e.g., Ohio, Michigan] and further west [e.g., Minnesota, North Dakota] but not California)

There isn't a difference among them. They are regional words to say the same thing. The only one that changes sentence structure is"pop".
Soft drink would be: "Could I get a soft drink?"
Pop would be: " Could I get "some" pop?" "Could I get a pop" sounds slightly unnatural but is 'technically' correct.
