The first is in the subjunctive.
The second is present tense declarative.
The third is future tense.
People, however, use them interchangably. It is hard to say which one is right to use when.
I would not say anything if I were you.
I saw you steal that hat, but I am not going to say anything.
I will not say anything if you are late to work tomorrow.
Mix it up and see what happens.

The first implies that you will not say anything or are offering your opinion to someone about saying something. The second is stating that you are not going to say anything. The third is future tense indicating that you will not say a word based on something that has happened.
