They are both words we use to show negativity.
“Not” is used to make a verb negative while “no” is used as an adjective to make a noun negative.
Therefore, “no” is before the noun while “not” is after the auxiliary verb.
Note the difference in use in these sentences.
I do not want any damage done. / I want no damage done.
He doesn't have any time. / He has no time.
There wasn’t any response. / There was no response.
He hasn’t any ideas about that. / He has no ideas about that.
