What is the difference between "ellos" and "los"?
Can I say this?
A la mañana siguiente ella despertó a decir que el jefe querían ellos por teléfono.
Or is this the correct one?
La próxima mañana los despertó para decir que el Jefe los quiso por teléfono.
Both ellos and los are pronouns, but they are used in different parts of the speech. Ellos is used as subject in a sentence, while los is the object; much the same difference there is in English between they and them.
In your example, you want an object, so the right word is los. Correcting a few other mistakes, the right sentence might be:
A la mañana siguente ella los despertó para decirles que el jefe los quería por teléfono.
