can't vs mustn't
What's the difference between:
We mustn't wake the children
and
We can't wake the children.
What is more suitable if the saying starts with : " Be quiet!"

They're both correct, although I'd say "mustn't" is better here for prohibition. You could use "can't," but that could also be interpreted as inability or impossibility. Another option, very typical in America, would be "we'd better not…."
