What is the difference between a forward slip and a cross-controll stall?
In my pilot training I am supposed to incorporate forward slips just in case my final approach was high in which I could lose enough altitude without increase airspeed in order to land safely. I know a forward slip is apply aileron input in one direction and using the rudder in the opposite direction which would result in a cross control stall if I’m correct, but how would this be possible? Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m quite confused with the whole cross control stall and how one might get into that position just by doing a forward slip. Any advice or clarification would be greatly appreciated!

The difference is that in a slip you're descending and keeping the aircraft above stall speed, whereas a cross control stall usually occurs when you're trying to keep the nose up and the bank shallow while turning, and get too slow. If you get too slow in a slip then yes, you could get into a cross controlled stall (so don't do that), but it will be different from stalling out of a turn... try it at altitude.
