If someone is about to get hit from a fly ball, you may shout "Look out!" or "Watch out!" and they both mean the same thing essentially.
An older brother might look out for his younger brother on the playground to make sure no one bullies him.
Watch out, you almost stepped into that rain puddle!
They are fairly interchangable, honestly.

they have very similar meanings, but "to watch out" is more like a warning
example: "watch out for thieves at night"
while "to look out" means to keep an eye on something or to look carefully
example : look out for the sale next friday
"look out" has one more meaning : to take care of someone
example: I'm just looking out for you (means that they are worried about you and want to take care of you)
hope this helped :)
