I'm vaguely sure that an ornament exists for this but I'm not sure which one it is. I'm a music theory beginner, so pardon me if there's a simple answer. Basically, I want to alternate quickly between two notes an octave away from each other, but I'm not sure which ornament accomplishes this. It's like a trill except a farther distance apart. Any ideas?

You're describing a tremolo. You can find good information on how to write it in the post What is this music symbol and how do I play it?
