Hello,
We all know thatGod is omnipotent but there are certain things that God can’t do. For example God cannot sin, and God cannot create a rock so heavy that he can’t lift it. And here is my question. For everything that God can’t do, is it the case that God doesn’t will them also? (Ex not only that God cannot sin, but God is also not willing to commit sin; not only that he cannot create a rock so heavy that he can’t lift it, but he is also not willing to create such rock, etc)

Thanks,
 
He doesn’t create square circles either. He doesn’t deal in nonsense.
These are mostly semantic tricks that humans invent.
Sin is turning one’s back on God, defying his will. Why would He want to do that? It makes no sense.

Think about it, what is sin? Sin is the absence of goodness and God is all good so a sin that God would commit doesn’t exist…
What is a rock so big that God can’t lift it? Nothing, it doesn’t exist.

In all of these absurd cases, they refer to something that does not exist therefore the propositions are nonsense.

Sin is against God so of course God can’t sin.

Absurdities like these do not mean God is unable to do something.

All of the things you have listed are akin to saying, “God can’t not be God.”
