Valency of carbon is 4 whether it is in CH4 or in C2H6.
Valency of carbon is considered to be 4 because it needs extra 4 electrons to complete it's octet or 4 electrons should be removed for this purpose,valency has nothing to do with bonding. The thing which changes with bonding is oxidation state.
Hope it helps you
