Qt doesn't provide a deployment packaging tool for Windows so you have to use a third party tool. I have listed a couple of the commonly used ones. How you use them is a matter for their manuals and tutorials. In short:

Build and test your Qt project
Work out what you need to deploy: Deploying Qt Applications
