Work experience comes from employment. Employment that might be full-time, part-time, temporary, volunteer, etc. So you've been hired by a company to work for them. A summary of skills is a listing of the various things you are capable of doing. 

For example, you may never have worked in your whole life. But you learned how to code. Coding is a skill. You might have worked as a cashier in a store. Your work experience is being a cashier. But the job involves various skills. For instance, there's cash-handling, honesty, interpersonal relations ("people skills"). 

So work experience is a listing of the various jobs you've had. A summary of skills are the various things within you that you are capable of doing and personal traits you have.
