Adding '-ing' may produce the following (not an exhaustive list):

  • The present participle of a verb, for example 'I am waiting for a bus.'
  • A participial adjective, for example 'I could hear a crying baby.'
  • A gerund (verbal noun), for example 'Her singing was beautiful.'
  • Other types of adjective and noun.

None of these is an adverb - nor is your own example, 'walking'.
