and

Is there any difference between them?

See japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/8313/… and japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/15156/…. Both should answer your question. – Earthliŋ♦ Jun 18 '15 at 13:33

「どうしますか」 could be used when it seems like something is wrong or hard to decide, like "Would this be okay?" or "What should we do?" or "What would you do if you were in my shoes?" or "What would you like to do about it?" or "How would ____ be?"
「何をしますか」 could be used for casual situations, like "What do you want to do?" or "What're you going to do?"
