Check to see if a player is walking?

How can I check if a player is walking in my game? I am wanting to play an animation when a player is walking. Let me know how I can do it.

Here is my script:

local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local PlayAnim

UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input)--When a player has pressed LeftShift it will play the animation and it will set the normal walking speed (16) to 35.
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
		Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 11
		local Anim = Instance.new('Animation')
		Anim.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://10410199944'
		PlayAnim = Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
		PlayAnim:Play()
	end

	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonX then
		Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 11
		local Anim = Instance.new('Animation')
		Anim.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://10410199944'
		PlayAnim = Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
		PlayAnim:Play()
	end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
		Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 17.5
		PlayAnim:Stop()
	end

	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonX then
		Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 17.5
		PlayAnim:Stop()
	end
end)

This script is in StarterCharacterScripts btw.

Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,

You could go the route of checking the MoveDirection of their humanoid, so if they are moved without input the animation also plays

Done with a script similar to:

local Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character

Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Changed:Connect(function()
if Character.Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
-- play animation
end
end
