We have,

$6^n+2^{n+n} \cdot 3^w+2^n=332$

When $m=4, LHS > RHS$

$\therefore$ Maximum value of $m=3$

When $m=3$,

$6^3+2^3 \cdot 2^n \cdot 3^w+2^n=332$

$2^n\left(8 \cdot 3^w+1\right)=332-216$

$2^n\left(8 \cdot 3^{2 v}+1\right)=116$

$2^n\left(8 \times 3^w+1\right)=4 \times 29$

$\therefore n=2$

$3^w+1=29 \Rightarrow 3^w=\frac{7}{2}$

Put $m=2$,

$\therefore 6^2+2^2 \cdot 2^n \cdot 3^{w v}+2^n=332$

$2^n\left(4 \cdot 3^{w v}+1\right)=332-36$

$2^n\left(4 \cdot 3^{w v}+1\right)=296$

$2^n\left(4 \cdot 3^w+1\right)=2^3 \times 37$

$\therefore 2^n=2^3 \text { and } 4 \cdot 3^{w v}+1=37$

$n=3 \text { and } 3^w=9 \Rightarrow w=2$

Hence, $m, n, w$ are positive integer.

$\therefore m^2+m n+n^2=(2)^2+(2)(3)+(3)^2$
