You wrote "y" where you should have written "y(x)"
Do you really mean y(x^2) in the second derivative and not just y(x)?
Mathcad does fine with y(x)

I don't have Prime 7 installed so I can't read your P7 file.
In your MC15 file you will have to define D as a function of x and w and not of v and w.
But you are solving a quite different ODE (system) using rkfixed compared to the one with odesolve
To solve the same ODE with rkfixed as with odesolve, you would do like this:
Note that you don't need to define a range for x!
Here's the file in Prime6

P.S.
With reference to: https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad/Toolbox-Solving-Ordinary-Differential-Equations-symbolically/m-p/689336#M192090
the exact solution to your ODE is:
(Note that you cannot do this in Prime)
A comparison with the Odesolve solution:
Thanks to Luc for providing your sheet in version 6.
1) In Prime you don't use "Given" to start a solve block but you rather must insert an ugly solve block module via the menu or by pressing Ctrl-7.
Furthermore the syntax for odesolve has changed. Here is how to make it work (of course I had to change the argument x^2 in the second derivative to a single x to make it work):
2) rkfixed worked for you in Prime because you used the same variable name (v) as argument of the function D AND also on the right hand side of its definition. In the MC15 sheet you had used "v" as argument but used "x" on the right hand side.
BTW, I don't think that a 3D plot it makes much sense here.
In case you are not aware of:
The first column are the x-values, the other columns correspond to the functions of your ODE system.
Typically you would plot each of these columns over the first one and use far more than just 10 intervals:
