It is meant to be checked. It controls whether world texture is visible for camera (i.e. rendering) or not. Is it possible for you to upload the blend file on this link ? — Mr Zak, Feb 11 '17 at 13:14
just uploaded the file sorry if its a bit large, please check it out. — Moun Glow, Feb 11 '17 at 13:38

You have Transparent enabled in render settings > film.

Disable that and you'll see the sky...

Generally if Transparent is checked it should show checkerboard which means transparency, not solid black. For some reason this is caused by Background Images in the Properties shelf (the rollout is just enabled, there aren't any). Don't know if it's a bug. – Mr Zak Feb 11 '17 at 15:43
@MrZak Yes, it took me a little while to find that, and it wasn't exactly what I was expecting when I saw it. It could very well be a bug... – JakeD Feb 11 '17 at 15:51
