大きな & 小さな mean the same thing as 大きい & 小さい, respectively. The ~な versions just have a more literary or quaint feel, and are also often preferred for describing concepts.

There is no situation where 大きな / 小さな can be used that it would be incorrect to use 大きい / 小さい instead, but the ~な forms have restricted use and are not able to replace the ~い versions in many cases. As a learner, it's good to note that these forms exist, but it's safe to continue to use only 大きい / 小さい until you get a sense for what situations 大きな / 小さな are preferred in.
