Have to implies that someone is forcing you to complete a task.
Must implies that the task needs to be completed, but not that you will actually do it.
Examples:
I spoke with the doctor. He says I must lose weight for my health. But I don't want to give up sugar donuts.
My wife yelled at me for the second time. She says I have to unplug the hose or she will go to her mother's house.
I hope this helps! :-)

I believe that 'have to' is a slang term of sorts, the correct being: I have (this) to do, meaning it is your task. Must is exactly what it sounds like, an imperative task: this must be done, but not necessarily by you.

Must is a stale smell.
I'm kidding, but I don't know.
