They mean essentially the same thing, though they may be used in slightly different contexts.
“Where were you?” may express curiosity or concern, where “Where have you been?” sounds a bit more angry, and would be more likely used in a situation, for example, where a child has missed their curfew and they parent is angrily asking “where have you been?!”
