It is has been theorised three kinds of wormholes: Lorentzian wormhole, Schwarzschild wormhole and Euclidean wormhole.
What is the difference between them, and how does each of them act :?:

None of them act in any way because no wormhole has yet been detected by physical means. Wormholes are mathematical abstractions akin to the singularities which engender them.

How they act in theory.

From what I read in the wikipedia Lorentzian and Schwarzschild wormholes are two names for the same concept, that black holes are one way connections to another universe. This does not seem a testable hypothesis however.

With Euclidean universe I think you are referring to a universe in which its Global Geometry contains some small hole. Currently we know very little of the universe globally.

If they were to exist, traversable wormholes would be an actual space that matter could pass through. They wouldn't work like they do in Stargate.
