The biggest obstacle that you will have to overcome is that Java is an object-oriented language, whereas C is a procedural language, and HTML is a formatting system, not a true computer language. Another problem that you will run into at one time or another is that Java is designed to be cross-platform. That means that you can do things in Java that you can't do in other languages - like C. But it also means that there are some things that you CANNOT do in Java that you can do in other languages.
OOP is the bigger of the two obstacles to overcome because it requires a different approach to problem-solving. I came from a BASIC background, and it took some time before I could adjust my thinking to OOP. But once I did, I could see the benefits.
