There isnt any difference :) "can't" is short for "cannot" same for these examples
is'nt > is not
Does'nt > does not
Don't > do not
Hope that helps :)

The only difference is spelling but "cannot" is usually used :)

Ok. I think that cannot was a mistake a long time ago. However, it becomes correct after being wrongly used many times.
