They are same meanings, but they have bit differences each other.
In my opinion, I use "どうしましょう/どうしよう" when I really don't know what I should or I cannot cope with some problems.
- Japanese
どうしましょう means such as:
How should I do?
It tends to be used when there is a clear goal or a probrem to solve.
ex.
明日は雨が降りそうだけれど、どうしましょう。
おばを喜ばせたいけれど、どうしましょう。
何をしましょう is such as:
What should I do?
Used when a goal is unclear (or looked for).
ex.
週末は何をしましょう。
このあと何をしましょう。(どうしましょう is also used.)
