Acoelomate animals (as the term implies) do not have a body cavity. Skeletal systems provide structuaral support for body cavities. Without a body cavity, an animal needs no skeletal system, therefore they have none. If they were as large as a cat or a dog, or even a squirrel, their lack of the structural support system that a skeleton provides would hinder their mobility greatly.
