My character is very broken

So, I’m making this character movement from scratch following this tutorial: https://youtu.be/PtuT6R4WM6Q?si=a0aIpUXZ5Y8WNF_P
I’ve followed his tutorial exactly in UE5 (he did it in UE4) and my character has several issues.

Issue 2:

I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. Thank you!
