Correct spelling, explanation: this form is the correct one as we add the adverbial suffix -ly to the adjective true. e is skipped, perhaps due to pronunciation, but l is not doubled; there is no need to do so. Therefore truly is the correct spelling and trully is a mistake.
Definition of truly:
adverb, in a way that something is truth
Jenny truly believes she will win the competition.
Jack is truly considered the best player on the team.
Incorrect spelling, explanation: we do not spell this adverb with double l, because we add the suffix to the word true which doesn’t end with another l. Vowel e is omitted but l is not doubled. Because of this truly is the correct spelling and trully is not correct.

Yes, sorry for that obvious mistake.
“Jenny truly believe she will win the competition.”
Shouldn’t “believe” be written as believes in this sentence?
