못하다 is something more formal I'd say. For example, let's say you are doing something wrong and someone caught you then they will say, 여기서 이거 못해요!. or let's say it is raining outside and you were supposed to play soccer then I'd say 비가 와서 축구를 못해! Moving on, 할 수없다 used more with people I'd say, 나는 이거 할수 없어 (I can't do it). Honestly, as a native speaker this question sounds like 'whats the difference between 'i'm not able to' and 'i can't do'. So, my point is both 못 and 할 수없다 can used whenever but as you learn more you will be able to think what word you will use in every each situtations
못하다 와 ㄹ 수 없다 는 거의 비슷해요! 거의 대부분 서로 바꿔서 사용할 수 있어요 : ) <못한다>는 말은 말하는 사람의 의지(생각), 능력을 보여줘요. 나 노래 못해 = 내 노래 하는 실력이 좋지 않다 , 노래를 하고 싶지 않다 <ㄹ 수 없다> 는 ~하기 어려운 상황을 더 강조할 수 있어요 여기서 노래 할 수 없어요 = 이 곳에서는 노래하면 안된다 이해가 됐나요? 도움이 되었길 바래요 ^^
