Answers: Or is there only sorbet? Is sherbert just a made up word?
Sherbert isn't the right way to say it.
It's "Sherbet"

But for some reason, when people say it, they add the extra "R" at the end.

It's just Sherbet.
Yes, sorbet is icier than sherbert. Sherbert is softer, even more than ice cream.
sherbert is that really soft waterice sorta stuff
sher·bet (sh?r'b?t) Pronunciation Key

Sherbet (Soda powder; Etymology: Turkish & Persian; Turkish ?erbet, from Persian & Urdu/Hindi sharbat, from Arabic sharba drink) (British and American English) or Sherbert (Australian English and New Zealand English, also a variant used in American English) historically was a cool effervescent or iced fruit soft drink. The meaning, spelling and pronunciation has fractured between three English-speaking countries. It is usually spelled either sherbet or sherbert. In the US, the most common meaning of sherbet is a frozen dessert sorbet or a special kind of ice cream: see sherbet (U.S.).

Sherbet "?erbet" in Turkey is a traditional cold drink prepared with rose hips, cornelian cherries, rose or licorice and a variety of spices. It is believed that sherbet has healing effects. In the gardens of Ottoman Palace, spices and fruits to be used in sherbet were grown up under the control of pharmacists and doctors of the Palace. Sherbet is still served following circumcision ceremonies or a childbirth to increase lactation of the mother.

Sherbet in the United Kingdom is a kind of fizzy powder made from bicarbonate of soda, tartaric acid, sugar etc and usually cream soda or fruit flavoured. The acid-carbonate reaction occurs upon presence of moisture (juice/saliva). It used to be stirred into various beverages to make effervescing drinks, in a similar way to making lemonade from lemonade powders. Today, people usually buy carbonated drinks rather than making them at home.

Sherbet is now used to mean this powder sold as a sweet. In the United States, it would be somewhat comparable to the powder in Pixy Stix or Lik-M-Aid/Fun Dip, though having the fizzy quality of effervescing candy.
It's sherbet, not sherbert.
In Australia Sherbert is this fizzy powdery lolly. Pre-mixed alcoholic drinks are also caller sherbert drinks or (more commonly now) lolly water.
yes. there are both.
It's sherbet, pronounced Sher - bet or sher-bert (even though there's no second R) and sorbet - pronounce soar-bay. Both are made from fruit juices, but differently (sherbet has some milk in it while sorbet doesn't - ice cream has lots of milk in it) and both are delicious.

So technically sherbert is a made up work.
sherbet is an arabic word that means sweet drink.
