"Make" means to create, to manufacture. "Do" mean "to perform", "to achieve" or "complete"
Can you make a cake? -- cannot use "do"
Do your homework. -- cannot use "make"
"Can you do this?" has a different meaning than "Can you make this?"

Some activities would sound better if you used GO. To go running, to go scuba diving would sound more natural.

You should use DO with all sports (to do exercise, to do running, to do scuba diving, ...)
You should use DO with all activities at home (to do washing up, to do the ironing, do the shopping...) except with the two best home activities, the ones conected with bed and cook (to make the bed , to make the meal, make a cup of tee)
You should memorize set phrases like make money, make a mistake, make a joke, make a decision, make an appointment, to make phone calls, or the other wat around, like do business, do a favour, do homework.
Good luck and good memory
