I cant change player walkspeed value on server even when using remotevents

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1 
   I want to make it so the lower the health on a player, the slower they walk. I used a remoteEvent that fires whenever the health changes. that works perfectly fine. The issue is the actual changing of the walkspeed value. I made it so it prints the walkspeed, and for example, when my health is at 20, the walkspeed print is 4. That is working as intended. When I walk though, I am not affected at all, and when I check explorer, it says my walkspeed is normal, however the script says otherwise. anyone know why? 

 local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local HealthChanged = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.HealthChanged

HealthChanged.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local Hum = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local Health = Hum.Health
	local Walkspeed = Hum.WalkSpeed
	local HealthChanged = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.HealthChanged
	
	Walkspeed = Health / 5
	print(Walkspeed)
end)

You can get the value of anything and try to change it when its a variable.
Fix:

 local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local HealthChanged = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.HealthChanged

HealthChanged.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local Hum = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local HealthChanged = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.HealthChanged
	
	Hum.WalkSpeed = Hum.Health / 5
	print(Walkspeed)
end)
