I have a webapplication which was deployed on tomcat and uses tomcat values, now the application is moving to websphere liberty and am not sure similar concept exists in liberty. Is there an equivalent tomcat valves concept in websphere libery profile? If yes, how can we achieve ?

It's hard to tell. You would have to elaborate more, what your valves are doing to find the best match or alterntive for them in the Liberty.

these tomcat valves in my webapplication is restricting requests from unknown hosts. If perticular request is blocked, then it will redirect it to the error page.

You can white/blacklist hostnames and ip addresses on a per-endpoint basis in server.xml. Blocked ones will get a connection reset message.
<httpEndpoint httpPort="19080" httpsPort="19443"
id="defaultHttpEndpoint" tcpOptionsRef="myTcpOptions" host="*"/>
<tcpOptions id="myTcpOptions" hostNameExcludeList="*.foo.com,*.ibm.com" />
There's more info on that here:

If you need different exclusions per app, you can use configure multiple endpoints and map them to applications using virtual hosts. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEQTP_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.wlp.doc/ae/cwlp_virtual_hosts.html
