So I was wondering what would be the best way to detect if player moved for example 10studs?

Well you can use a while loop and keep updating a variable that says the latest player position and compare it with the actual position:

    local lastPos = Character.PrimaryPart.Position
    while wait(3) do
         print((Character.PrimaryPart.Position - lastPos).Magnitude)
         lastPos = Character.PrimaryPart.Position
    end

If you want to find the actual distance they moved, you can use the .Magnitude property

local lastPosition = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
while true do
	local currentPosition = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
	print((currentPosition - lastPosition).Magnitude)
	wait(1)
end

Note: you might want to ignore the Y axis as a player in free fall has infinite terminal velocity

I think you misunderstood him, when he said X, he meant a variable, like x = 10, not how many studs the player walked in the X axis
