Hello, alk24
The sentence with "Why" is the only correct. "Why" is used to enquire about the reason behind some action, which in your example is "caring of what he thinks".
"What" is used in requests to indentify something and does not fit well in your sentence. However, you could rephrase the question to make it use "what" this way:
What is the reason yo

The idiom is: What do you care ...?
The meaning is To what extent do you care ...? (How much do you care ...?) It's a rhetorical question, and the assumed "correct" answer is Not at all.
The meaning, when summed up, comes to this:
You shouldn't care what he thinks.
_______
On the other hand, Why do you
