The lame beggar at the temple never expected to be healed or even asked to be healed (Acts 3:1-5). He would have heard about the Jesus who had healed people; but now that time had gone. The crippled man continued to ask for money. So, Peter's intervention was a total surprise to him. The apostle simply told him to walk, 'in the Name of Jesus', because Jesus had authorised him to do so (John 14:13). Peter did not want the man to try to do the impossible, but to trust in the power of Jesus Christ. If Jesus commanded him to walk, then he should obey.
