Just manage to set the VerticalOptions and HorizontalOptions of the indicatorView to FillAndExpand like below:

<IndicatorView x:Name="indicatorView"
                   IndicatorsShape="Square"
                   MaximumVisible="6"
                   IndicatorColor="DarkRed"
                   SelectedIndicatorColor="DarkGray"
                   VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                   HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                   />

Give it a size , for example IndicatorSize="12"

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/indicatorview#change-indicator-size

  <IndicatorView
            x:Name="indicatorView"
            HorizontalOptions="Center"
            IndicatorColor="DarkRed"
            IndicatorsShape="Square"
            MaximumVisible="6"
            IndicatorSize="12"
            SelectedIndicatorColor="DarkGray" />

In your case, Indicator view is actually displayed. You haven't noticed it since it's present at the bottom edge of the mobile screen. Please refer the screenshot below:

Indicator view present at the bottom edge of the screen.

This is happening because the carousel view expands to most of the screen size available. You can fix this issue by providing a Heightrequest to carouselview control, say 200.

For example:

    <StackLayout HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
        <CarouselView EmptyView="No items to display." HeightRequest="200"  VerticalOptions="Center" IndicatorView="indicatorView" ItemsSource="{Binding CarouselImages}">
            <CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <StackLayout HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand">
                        <Image Source="{Binding ImagePath}"
                           Aspect="AspectFill"
                           HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" />
                    </StackLayout>
                </DataTemplate>
            </CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
        </CarouselView>
        <IndicatorView x:Name="indicatorView"
                IndicatorsShape="Square"
                 MaximumVisible="6"
               IndicatorColor="DarkRed"
               SelectedIndicatorColor="DarkGray"
               HorizontalOptions="Center" />

    </StackLayout>

Please refer the screenshot after providing HeightRequest to the carouselview control:
