"Do what you will" is a little old fashioned so I would recommend saying "do whatever you want"
The second one sounds good

The first one is more old-fashioned, but it's not wrong. Most people would say:
"Do what you want"
or
"Do whatever you want"
The second one is fine, though.

I would actually use the first one in my speech if I was trying to be slightly more polite. If I was being a bit sassy I would say "do what you want"
