I found that the link from my YouTube channel to my website was do-follow through Moz bar but no one is indexing it. Why?

Who is no one else? What tools are you referring to? I assume you mean other backlink checking tools are not listing this link. Is that correct?

[knoiwtall]

Google, Moz, Bing, Ahrefs are no one else.
I am referring to moz bar for checking link whether it was dofollow or no-follow.

Depends on where that link is. Is it inside a video summary, in your profile? YT uses their own redirect system that can confuse some tools. Also going to flag this to Product help in case someone at Moz can help out.

It's in the channel profile. I think all the links in video description are no-follow.

The channel profile links I saw were not direct links. If you hover over them, not click, just hover, you will see they link to the YT domain first, then go through a very odd redirect that is not recognized by normal crawlers. That is why I think you see it as a followed link ... it's a followed link to them and then weirdly redirected to you. There will not be any passed link equity from this setup as far as I can tell.
