It is pretty unlikely (unless a felony charge was somehow attached it - e.g.: your DUI caused serious injury or death). However, if you failed to appear, Virginia probably either suspended or revoked your driving privileges and all other states will be aware of this when you apply for a new, or renewal of, your license. Better you should return to VA and deal with the consequences , or this will give you problems the rest of your life. DUI violations do NOT expire or 'go away' and your eligibility for a drivers license will always be affected.
