"Do not disturb me!" is an order! It's called an imperative sentence.
"You do not disturb me" is a simple statement of fact. "You're not bothering me." It's a declarative sentence.

It may be confusing when someone tells you that the subject of the imperative sentence is "understood" to be "you." That makes it look like the declarative version.
