"in a while" would mean after a short period of time
"for a while" would mean for a short period of time
Example: "In a while I can talk to you for a while, but I only have 20 minutes this morning."

Ill give an example sentence:
"I haven't done this for a while now..."
For a while, for me, gives feeling that the action is going to continue its existence even though it wasn't done a lot lately. I'm thinking it's a small nuance which you should not pay much attention to.
In a while expresses something done after the specified time.
"I'll get used to this in a while, I guess" as the other person specified
Nuances are a lot in Ingrish I feel like xd
