I am very sorry, the VHD file generated by WinToUSB is not a bootable VHD file, it does not contain the Windows boot loader.

thanks for your reply, is there any plan to make the vhd file bootable in the future ?

I'm sorry, we do not have such a plan, this feature does not seem to be related to Windows To Go in any way.
