Hello!

It's the same question that is written in the title does it exist Webservice
that has a GUI.?
If a Webservice has a GUI how will that be presented in Browser because
WebService is based on
SOAP that is using HTTP and XML ?

No.
Services run without a human interface.

Although, with REST such as REST ado, you can input a URL and get a
list of data straight back in your browser.

One could use soapUI (soapui.com) which is a nice client for testing
your SOAP-server...

By convention:
web app = something that delivers a complete web page consisting of
HTML, CSS, graphic over HTTP protocol
web service = something that delivers data that is processed in some
way client side typical formats XML or POX or JSON over HTTP protocol

Due to the processing step, then it is questionable to consider the
client side to be a GUI for the web service - it it more appropriate
to consider it to be a GUI using the web service.

JavaScript (AJAX), Flash, Silverlight and Java Applets can all
run embedded in a web page and use web services.

Web services can also be used by desktop apps, other server apps etc..

To further complicate matters then you can actually have the same
app both be a web app and expose web services.
