Does a lawyer have to say when they know their client is guilty?

No. All communications between a lawyer and his client is confidential, at least as it pertains to the client's case.
However, there may be a future time when a lawyer is summoned to speak in court or to police about his client conversations. For example, his client is convicted, goes to prison, and is murdered there. In the murder case, a judge may overrule the lawyer/client confidentiality, and the lawyer would then have to talk about what he knows, in the interests of identifying &/or convicting his late-client's killer.

A lawyer may motion to withdraw as counsel if they feel that continuing representation could compromise their ethical duties or could create a conflict of interest that would hinder their ability to represent the client effectively. By withdrawing, the lawyer is acknowledging that there may be circumstances that could call into question their ability to act in the client's best interests.
