What causes a nebula to change into a star?
Do you mean a nova? A Nebula is a large group of stars and dust in the sky. e.g. the Orion nebula. An individual star would not ordinarily change into a nebula, but the Crab Nebula is one such, first seen on earth about 1054 CE. But it had taken about 6500 years for the light to reach us. If your query was about nova or supernova, ask again.
How far is the proxima centauri to earth by walking?
The distance between two points is the distance between them. It doesn't depend on the method an object uses to move between the two points. It also doesn't depend on what route an object follows between them, or even whether or not anything moves between the two points. The distance between the earth and the Orion Nebula is the distance, even though no object has ever moved between the earth and the Orion Nebula.
