Is there any connotation difference between these two questions :
"Do you know why did he make that decision ?"
and :
"Do you know why he made that decision ?"
?

"Why he made that decision" is the object of the sentence (do you know (what?) why he made that decision?)
It's not right to try to build 2 questions within 1 sentence.
Making the object of the sentence, use the affirmative sentence word order:
Do you know why he did that?
Do you understand why I am doing this?
Do you realize how hard I have been trying?
