Having animation function while game is playing

Development Character & Animation
1

Sorry for another noob question from this artist/animator attempting to make a game. Just need to have the walk animation function on the character
while the game is being played, so that she walks, rather than “slides”, when the w,a,s,d buttons are pushed. How do I accomplish this?

                                                                                              Thanks much,
