If there is no external force , angular momentum is conserved.
 
Potential energy is also conserved.
 
Due to conservation of angular momentum, after the child sitting, disc angular speed is decreasing.
Hence kinetic energy decreasing, kinetic energy is not conserved.
 
linear momentum is proportioal to angular speed ( i.e. mωR ) , since angular speed has decreased
due to conservation of angular momentum and due to increase of moment of inertia,
linear momentum is not conserved
 
Potential energy of a body is due to its position. If we compare total potential energy of the disc and
child just before child sitting on the disc and toal potential energy of the disc and child after sitting on
the roatating disc, both the potential energy is same . Hence potential energy also conserved
