DO and MAKE have different meanings. They are often
confused because they are in many different phrases in
English. Also, they both replace other, less common, verbs.
Here are some explanations to show the difference between
DO and MAKE.

Do

General Activities
When we talk about a general or unspecified activity, but do
not say what it is, we can use do:
•        I want to do something.
•        What are you doing?
•        What did you do yesterday?
•        There is a lot to do in Toronto

Work
We usually use do to talk about work:
•        What do you do? (What is your job?)
•        Who does the laundry in your house?
•        I don't want to do any work today.
•        I hate doing the cleaning.
•        Have you done your homework?

Note that do can replace another more exact verb (but only
when the meaning is clear from the situation). This is informal,
but common in spoken English.
•        do the exam (write/take the exam)
•        do the dishes (wash the dishes)
•        do the laundry (wash the laundry)

Make

Construction/Creating
Make often expresses the idea of construction or creation:
•        I'll make a cake for Anthony's birthday.
•        This car was made in France.
•        Did you make this table yourself?
Now compare:
•        Do the shopping. (We don't really create anything. We
just "do" an activity.)
•        Make a cake. (We actually create something from
nothing.)
In the next example, notice make is for creation (the cake) and
do is for the general activity, even though we're really talking
about the same thing:
•        I must make Anthony's cake. I'll do it now.
