The feat. Right now this is accepted as Illusion Creation for Goku. But I think Duplication is a far more consistent conclusion for this feat.
Edit: the links somehow aren't working (at least for me), so I put the scans in a single link in order here.
First of all, illusions are "false images", as this site describes it, yet Whis is clearly shown to interact with these versions on some level. Which is also supported by the fact that they dissappear after contact. And the statements that follow afterwards are also leaning towards Duplication more than anything else:
I also wanna note there would be no good reason for Whis to attack a bunch of illusions that he already knew were ploys, unless they formed some sort of "threat".
There's only one logical conclusion to draw from all of this: they were clones. Chapter 73 partially supports this as well. In chapter 73 Granolah creates a clone of himself, and when it dissappear it looks very similar to Goku's versions he created against Whis. Granolah's vs Goku's. The same statement of "his real body is somewhere else" Whis used against Goku is also used by Vegeta once he figures out Granolah is using a clone.
The justification for Goku's version disappearing so easily would be that they were far outclassed against Whis, which is pretty logical for obvious reasons. Pretty similar to Naruto's Shadow Clones.
Conclusion: Goku creating clones is far more consistent considering the statements that were made after it happened, and with the events currently happening with Granolah. This would remove Illusion Creation from his profile as well. Whis should probably also get Duplication mentioned on his profile if this were to get accepted, because he mentions that Goku was copying him. I don't think he currently has Illusion Creation mentioned on his profile either, which he should probably get if this gets rejected.

Whis' first statement implies that these versions are actual bodies. In his second statement he says these versions were an obvious ploy. A ploy is a plan or action to turn a situation to one's advantage, but how would sending illusions towards Whis while not descending yourself achieve that? It wouldn't. That's a useless action in itself.
Afterwards Goku states he was sure this would work. But, again, how would sending illusions towards Whis while not descending himself "work"? It wouldn't.
