One of the most obvious resons was that he needed to show that he was King, that he had power and also that he was rich. Also it was mainly for protection, to store weapons and jewels and gold were kept in castles. But the bigger the castle the tougher it was to invade and it also protected the people.
William needed to get a place to protect the soldiers that he used to control the country. They could shoot the invaders, but were hard to shoot at because of the high walls and were hard to get at.
