Why did Draco and Lucius get super angry and over dramatic about Buckbeak hurting Draco’s arm and tried to get Hagrid fired and Buckbeak killed as punishment but they did nothing about Mad-Eye Moody (Barty Crouch Jr) transfiguring Draco into a ferret as a punishment for being rude to Harry? I understand that they might be in on the plan or scared of Mad-Eye (the real one) but if someone could just clear everything up that would be greatly appreciated.

Two theories: either they were more afraid of Moody than they were of Hagrid, or Lucius knew of Crouch Jr.'s plan and didn't want to interfere with it. No idea which one it actually was, though.

Because Draco didn't tell him:
Draco threatened to tell Lucius, to which Moody replied:
"Oh yeah?, said Moody quietly, limping forward a few steps, the dull
clunk of his wood leg echoing around the hall. 'Well, I know your
father of old boy...you tell him Moody's keeping a close eye on his
son...you tell him that from me..."
-Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 13: Mad-Eye Moody
Remember, in the book, only Voldemort (and maybe Wormtail) knows who Moody really is, so the Malfoys would have every right to be a bit nervous that the Draco (and therefore Lucius) had drawn the attention of one of the greatest Aurors. In this case, it seems like Draco just kept his mouth shut not to further irritate Moody and put his father into danger.
Moody is effectively saying "yeah...go ahead and tell him. Also be sure to tell him that it was me who did it. I know who you are and I know who he is...and what he was. Go ahead and pick a fight with me"
3
Alternately, he might have told his father and his father didn't choose to do anything at the time. Moody has enough of a reputation that even Lucius would have been hesitant to go up against him.
