While writing a code many time any of them get failed. How actually those methods work? Please great if you can help to stop confusing between those two.

The methods .isDisplayed() and .isEnabled() have nothing in common.

Method .isDisplayed() :

An element is considered displayed when it is perceptually visible to the human eye.

Method .isEnabled() :

An element is considered enabled if it's not a form control (button, input, textarea, select or option) or when the user interactions and focus are not blocked with the disabled attribute/property.

For the default implementation:
