I wouldn't assume it's a symptom of anything horrible if it is rare or occurs in a child, especially. It is it's own condition if it persists (somnambulism):
It is not "natural" in the sense that the muscles are supposed to biochemically paralyzed during sleep so you don't hurt yourself when dreaming. It's not necessarily that a sleepwalker is dreaming, or acting out a dream, either. They may be in very deep sleep and very difficult to awaken.
It has been associated with mild forms of seizures, but doesn't mean you will develop epilepsy or anything else.
