Could anyone please explain to me what is the difference between multinomial logistic regression and traditional regression?
I have used a method called elastic-net as the response variables are in discrete format, but I am confused if this method is suitable or not or should I be using a multinomial logistic regression instead?
I appreciated any help!

Multinomial logistic regression is used when the dependent variable is categorical with more than two levels but no order.
Linear regression is used when the dependent variable is continuous (or, at least, reasonably close to continuous).
Elastic net is a method of regularization. It can be used in both linear and logistic regression.

You can check e.g. Wikipedia and the references therein. Or search for elastic net here on Cross Validated.
