I have Capital Losses on 2018 but I didn't file Schedule D on 2019 tax because I didn't do any investment in 2019. Can I still use 2018 schedule D losses on 2020 tax?

Yes, you can use your unused capital loss occurred in 2018 for your 2020 tax return. According to the IRS rules, net capital losses in excess of $3,000 can be carried forward indefinitely until the amount is exhausted.
