Both are correct but have very different meanings.

”I haven’t got much money”: You only have a small amount of money. You are not happy about this situation - we almost always use this sentence negatively. But you don’t need more money than this presently, for example, to pay a debt.

”I haven’t got enough money.”: You have less money than you need to pay for something. This could be a very small amount of money or a huge amount. This could be used neutrally - to state the fact that you have less money than needed. Or it could be used negatively.

Both are correct, but mean different things.

I haven’t got much money -> Количество денег, которыми я располагаю, невелико / я не обладаю кучей денег

I haven’t got enough money -> Мне не хватает денег
