The only difference is that local self government is a type of local government where the local government is voted upon by those who live in the jurisdiction. In some countries (not the US), local governments are appointed by national or regional governments, not voted in by the local citizens.

ocal self-government usually implies that a region has local autonomy, it can largely make its own decisions for its internal affairs, but not for those things which relate to foreign affairs, and these powers do not derive from the Central Government but belong to the region under a Constitution or Basic Law.
Local Government usually means devolved local powers exercised on behalf of central government. The Council can only make its decisions within a framework created by the central government.
The difference between the two is often blurred. The States of the US have local autonomy under the Constitution, but the Scottish government is not autonomous but devolved, even though it has similar responsibilites to a US State.
