If you say "to hold" it would literally mean, using your hand to hold something For example I am holding a pencil Which means the pencil is in your hand when you said that sentence If you say "to keep" it literally means to take care of something/ store something For example I am keeping my pencil Which means you are going to take your pencil to where it could be stored or where it's safe Just ask me questions if you still don't understand the difference^^

To hold something is to have it in your hand, in your arms, etc. To keep is to continue having possession of something so if you say "I am holding a dog" That means you have the dog in your arms if you say "I am keeping a dog" That means you have possession of the dog for a certain period of time
