I can't find any references to "walk on" someone - perhaps you are thinking of "walk over" someone. This idiom means to ignore someone's feelings and treat them with contempt, or to treat them without respect. In sports, you might use the idiom to mean that your team had an easy victory, though that is not as often used. Usually, if you say "He walked all over his father," you mean "He treated his father as if his father had no importance."
