sheet piling
(OP)
I am using Shoreguard PZH-7 sheet piling for a walkway retaining wall adjacent to a body of water. Can anyone steer me in the right direction or know of appropriate software to calculate the loads on the wall (8 feet high. 4 feet exposed).
I don't want to use tiebacks.

You're asking for the loading on the wall. This is a typical soil loading active and passive pressure problem. The only hiccup I see here is whether or not you should apply a live load surcharge due to a small vehicle (golf cart) for emergency purposes.
Das, in particular, has clear examples on this type of problem.
Another resource that might be helpful is the PileBuck design series.

See the Section beginning on page Page 4-1
Be sure to determine the soil properties for your project since the success of a cantilever wall is entirely dependent on them. Your preliminary estimate is reasonable (8' long sheeting with 4' cantilever projection) - having cantilever sheetpile wall projection equal to embedment was a 1930's rule-of-thumb, for good soil.
