'make' is often used for things you can create. Such as:
make a cake
make a birthday card
If you are 'making' something, then you are 'doing' something. But if you are 'doing' something, you might not be 'making' something:
making a cake or birthday card is something you can do
'make' is also used for performing tasks. Such as:
make a phone call
make an effort
'do' is often used for jobs or activities. Such as:
do your homework
do your job

Do can refer to a hobby, activity, etc. Make usually refers to creating something.
Some examples: I do many things in my spare time. I make model cars. I make bread in the oven. Those are things I like to do.

This is a very common question and honestly not very easy to answer. Here is a resource that might be helpful:

This is what Matt said above me but Make can also be used not in a physical sense. (Something you can touch in real life),
Like, i'm making arrangements or he's making me mad.
By make you are creating a cause from an action like, pouring mentos in coke will make it go booooshhh up!
By pouring the mentos you create a cause and effect, like making, make is the effect and anything can be the cause.
He punched me - Cause
So I made him cry, - Effect
Made is just a preposition or a small action word that means to "do" something and create an effect or something out of it.
I made a cake, I got a cake.
"I did that" however has no defined effect. It just means you did something.
But make actually brings a product or an EFFECT,
I made that", means you made something and got it as a REWARD or PRIZE for "doing" it. Do just means to perform an action.
