I mean if a question comes after :" Do you know" Example:" Do you know who is the guy, or do you know who the guy is ?"

"Who is the guy?" is a question, as indicated by the question word "who."
The "who" in "who the guy is" is not that question word. It's just a marker for something unsaid or unknown. Example: You could say, "I know who the guy is." That's not a question.
"Do you know xxx?" is a question. You could say "Do you know karate?" "Do you know John?" or "Do you know who the guy is?" All of those follow the pattern "Do you know xxx?"
Some people will say things like "Do you know who is the guy?" but I always hate it. It's like two questions in one sentence. What are you asking, "Do you know...?" or "Who is...?"

How about just "Who is the guy..."

either are correct. but "do you know who the guy is..." sounds better and is probably what more people would use.
