In English we don't have a formal version of YOU but we do have other ways to make the sentence formal in the language. Just by adding PLEASE in a request makes it more formal... Instead of using "Can you do me a favor? " "Could you do me a favor?" also makes it more formal, and a lot of other ways that we can study more about in a lesson or other videos :)
