No, you cannot voluntarily default on your 401k loan. If you stop making payments, it will be considered a default, which can have negative consequences on your finances and retirement savings.

Can 401k loan rollover into a new plan?

No - When you're completing a rollover to a new plan, whether it be an IRA, 403B, 457, or 401K, it is considered to be a "Lump Sum Distribution" of the account. When you take a "Lump Sum Distribution" it automatically defaults the loan on your 401K. "Default" means that it is reported to the IRS as a taxable distribution - So you will be subject to tax and possible penalties on the portion of money not payed back as well as accrued interest.
