So I use a walker and I feel this is causing it not to count my steps correctly could this be an issue? Also when I go for actual walks it records it as a bike ride is this because of using a walker?

Using a walker, the step count will not be accurate because the arm with the watch on it needs to be swinging.  If you select your exercise manually, it will be the correct exercise shown.
