John W. Young, commander of the first orbital shuttle flight, walked on the moon as commander of Apollo 16. As an added point of interest, shuttle flight 4 commander Thomas K. Mattingly II was the command module pilot for that same Apollo mission.

John Young flew with Gus Grissom on Gemini 3, and as Commander of Gemini 10 with Michael Collins. He then served as Command Module Pilot on the Apollo 10 lunar mission before landing on the Moon with Charlie Duke on Apollo 16. He flew as Commander of the first Shuttle flight in April 1981 and flew his sixth space mission in November 1983 as Commander of STS-9.

John Young commanded Apollo 16 and STS-1.
Out of the other 11 moon-walkers, only Apollo 12's Pete Conrad and Alan Bean flew other space flights (SkyLab 2 & 3 respectively).

Two members of the apollo programme flew on the space shuttle. Both were on apollo 16. I assume then one must have done a walk
Young flew sts1 & sts9
while Mattingly flew on sts4 + sts51c
the majority of the apollo crew retired in the mid 70's

John Young.
He flew Apollo 10 (which didn't land), and Apollo 16 (which did.)
He was also in the Gemini program.

There has never been a space shuttle pilot to walk on the moon.
They Apollo program ended years before the space shuttle program.
You may be thinking of John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth. He also flew on a space shuttle mission.
