"Go to bed!" Is converted to He told the child to go to bed. So why cant we convert "No!"

Sorry, I misread your original post. For some unexplained reason, I read 'indirect speech' as 'passive voice'.
BrianMendonsa"Go to bed!" Is converted to He told the child to go to bed.
That is not an acceptable transformation, as there is no child nor 'he' in the original. If you wish to transform 'No!' to indirect speech, you need some context.
