Both are used.
Doing a 180 suggests turning around and going the other way, usually in the sense of a car making a u-turn, but also by association it can mean changing one's plans.
Doing a 360 refers to something that race car drivers sometimes do as part of an accident and stunt drivers routinely do intentionally, spinning a car completely around at high speed without decreasing forward momentum.
