In django-1.11 the build_attrs function has been changed as specified in the release notes [Django-doc]:

The signature of private API Widget.build_attrs() changed from extra_attrs=None, **kwargs to base_attrs, extra_attrs=None.

You need to change the call to:

class ReservedValueHiddenInput(ValueHiddenInput):
    """
    Overrides the default name attribute of the form.
    Used for the PayPal `return` field.
    """

    def render(self, name, value, attrs=None):
        if value is None:
            value = ''
        final_attrs = self.build_attrs(attrs, {'type': self.input_type})
        if value != '':
            final_attrs['value'] = force_text(value)
        return mark_safe(u'<input%s />' % flatatt(final_attrs))
