With the Bot API you can't. You can use the users.getUsers method from the Telegram APIs (the ones for clients, not for Bots) but it's a bit complicated. Otherwise you can store in a database all user_id and username from users when they start the bot so you'll be able to get the user_id from the username and viceversa.
