From upgrade section from Phalcon docs:

Removed Phalcon\Session\Adapter\Files - replaced by Phalcon\Session\Adapter\Stream

You need make some changes: https://docs.phalcon.io/4.0/en/session

4.0 is a major upgrade and there are some really significant changes you have to make to migrate to that release. Have a look at https://docs.phalcon.io/4.0/en/upgrade for some of the things that need to be changed.

For the new session code, I used the following:

$di->set('session', function() use ($di) {
    $session = new Phalcon\Session\Manager();
    $files = new Phalcon\Session\Adapter\Stream();
    $session->setAdapter($files)->start();
    return $session;
});
