Comment (by swissspidy):

 Shortcodes aren't enabled for text widgets by design.

 AFAIK `[embed]` isn't a "normal" shortcode and running the text through
 `do_shortcode` is not enough. Using the `WP_Embed::run_shortcode` method
 should work though. Note that the output isn't cached when not using in a
 post.
