How does energy transferred through the musket?

When the musket is cocked, mechanical energy is stored in the hammer spring. When the trigger is pulled, that energy is released, driving the flint against a part called the frizzen, making sparks. Those sparks ignite gunpowder, releasing the chemical energy in the gunpowder. It burns rapidly, changing its chemical energy to heat energy. The heat energy causes the gasses produced by the burning gunpowder to rapidly expand (heat to mechanical energy) The rapidly expanding gasses push the bullet out of the barrel at high speed.
