Because of the way they're built. Their legs stick out past the edges of the shell, and then point downward toward the ground. That's a very awkward configuration for movement. Also, their shells protect them. You don't need to be fast if you basically live in a tank.

A turtle is a cold blooded animal. Cold blooded animals move slower to conserve energy.

God's creation. Its the shape of its body.
In our mechanical world most of the heavy machinery
moving vehicles are slow too.

patience is virtue!
and i think they live a very long time so maybe it might seem slow to us in reference to our time frame but for them, they're moving at normal speed, if you understand what i'm saying.
...because i don't.
