So Locke decides not to ask him to return with him, simply stating that he's been through enough and he can't bring himself to pull him away from a normal life of school and friends back to a life of being kidnapped by The Others and trying to survive. He also likely knows that Michael is dead and is protecting Walt from finding out what happened to him. The most logical answer to me is that he isn't relevant to the story. Michael isn't in the limbo universe because he has become part of the island's energy.
Its possible that Walt exists in the limbo universe, but we never see him. I also like the following fan theory explanation:. So I should note here that I have actually not seen the epilogue, but read some interesting information on the Lostpedia page for Walt.
Walt is offered a "job" by Hurley and it is theorized that that job is taking care of the island. If this is true then it explains why he is not in the final season because he has become immortal like Jacob and all the other characters are being shown after they've died.
The show's producers, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have explained why Walt wasn't a bigger part of the show. When asked about the production difficulties associated with Walt and possible appearances of the character in the fourth season, co-creator Damon Lindelof stated: "We've always known Malcolm was going to grow faster than we could shoot the show.
And we planned for it. Trust us. Please trust us. You'll see [Walt] again. But you're gonna have to be patient. Kelley had stated a willingness to return to the show again, which was realized in "The New Man in Charge".
So logistically he couldn't have been in the episode. The willingness was there on the part of Malcolm David Kelley, but it seems like for whatever reason, the writers did not write him into the show. From an interview in Malcolm is ready and willing to go another round with Lost. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like the writers or producers will ever give an official statement on this but my guess is if you could sit them down and ask them, they'd shrug and tell you he just wasn't that important to the story by then.
Could even be that they already had the storyline drawn up without Walt and it wasn't worth the effort to try and write him in. Hopefully this answer helps. If I ever find any official out of universe statements on why he wasn't included more in the final season I will edit my answer. I'm even planning on listening to audio commentaries to see if there's anything mentioned.

Boring "official" answer The Triva section answsers: At Comic-Con , co-creator Damon Lindelof stated that the source of Walt's powers was never meant to be full-throttled mystery.
The cited source, HitFix adds: That said, because they had expected to be canceled after the first 13 episodes, they never banked on having to deal with Malcolm David Kelley's growth spurt, and at that point had to write him out, only giving Walt some semblance of closure in the bonus epilogue, "New Man in Charge," on the complete series DVD set.
There are many; some are: Walt is "special" because he can manifest his thoughts into reality. In the episode "Special" Season 1 while playing backgammon with Hurley, Walt thinks a number out loud and then rolls it. In the episode "Special" when Locke is teaching Walt how to throw knives, Locke says, "Imagine it in your mind's eye. In the episode "Special", When studying native Australian birds, Walt tries to get his distracted stepfather's attention to look at the bronze cuckoo and when he can't a bronze cuckoo flies into the back door and kills itself.
In the episode "Special", Walt is chased through the jungle by a polar bear after reading a comic book with a polar bear in it. All of the above stems from the exposure Walt had to a source of electromagnetic energy in Australia. Much of the apparent psychic ability Walt has displayed while on the Island may stem from his reading of the Green Lantern comic book. Inspired by this, Walt may be the so-called "the magic box". In "Special", Walt's ability to see with his mind's eye is a sign of the artistic vision he received from his father.
Walt's powers may be, in essence, a "younger version" of the same abilities that Desmond has. Walt is "special" because his body and mind both travel time as opposed to Desmond who has only traveled with his mind. Improve this answer.

One part of those theories that I don't agree with is the Polar Bear part as it is shown in one of the episodes that the bears are a left over experiment from DHARMA seeing how well animals react to climates that are opposites of what they are used to; hence polar bears on a tropical island.
TylerShads Clearly , Walt's powers manifested the DHARMA Initiative, and their polar bear experiment to provide a reasonable explanation for why a polar bear would show up on a tropical island.

Fan theories get wild when it comes to theorizing the nature of Walt's powers and their possible origins. Everything from exposure to magnetism to Walt's secretly being the Smoke Monster has been proposed for the cause of his gifts.
Many theories center around his powers being either telepathic, wish-based, time-and-space bending, or some combination of the three. In reality, the truth is probably less thrilling. For one, it's become well known that the Lost creators never had a master plan mapped out for the series like they lead us to believe. Some of the mysteries were even mysteries to the writers themselves.
So, it's entirely likely that Walt's powers were simply arbitrary plot devices meant to intrigue us without one specific end in mind.
Lost Co-creator Damon Lindelof all but came out and admitted as much when it came to Walt's powers. At Comic-Con , he said the source of Walt's powers was never intended to be mysterious. Why is Walt special? That may seem like a cop-out, but maybe it's not.
