What you describe might be called a loop. In aviation, “roll” describes any rotation (not necessarily full 360) around the longitudinal axis, as “yaw” around the vertical and “pitch” around the lateral axis.
ETA: 360 degrees pitch is a looping, 360 degrees roll is a aileron roll or slow roll, a 360 degrees roll and pitch is a barrel roll, and 360 degrees yaw is “a 360”, ie a full circle turn.
