I don't think walking or not makes much of a difference before. It made a huge difference for me during labour. Sitting or lying my contractions were every 5 mins but as soon as I started walking they were every minute! Any kind of light regular exercise before hand will build up energy and stamina levels for labour, whether it's walking or anything else.
