Hi Raul, “zǒu” means “to walk”, while “zǒu lù” means “walk by foot”

“Zǒu” is a single verb which normally can’t be used alone. But there are exceptions:

wǒ men zǒu (ba) = let’s go!

wǒ men shén me shí hòu zǒu? = When do you leave?

“zǒu lù” is a phrase.

For example:

A: nǐ zěn me qù Shanghai? = How do you get to Shanghai?

B: zǒu lù

or you can say: wǒ zǒu zhé qù/ wǒ zǒu qù Shanghai
