Could you please make me understand the meaning of both the sentences ?

1. I´d rather you not mention that


2. I´d rather you didn't mention that

Only the second sentence is correct provided you put a full stop at the end. It means: My preference is that you don't mention that. CB

Both sentences require ending punctuation. They mean that I don't want you to talk about that subject. Usually it refers to telling someone else.
