We can't walk on water because it isn't solid. It's a liquid, and liquids won't "hold things up" like solids.

If we put pressure on a portion of the surface of the liquid, the molecules will just "get out of the way" of the thing applying pressure. This will allow the thing to just "go down into" the water. If you step onto the surface of the (liquid) water in a swimming pool, you'll sink.

How can certain bugs walk on water?

Certain bugs, such as water striders, have long hydrophobic hairs on their legs that create a waterproof layer.
