Walking and treading mean the same thing. The saying is actually just "on thin ice" and it means you are standing on something that might not support you. You say someone is "on thin ice" if they are doing anything the might collapse at any second. If someone is telling lies and is about to be found out, you could say they are on thin ice.

I think it's also ok to say 'skating on thin ice'. Another example of its usage (to add to what has already been said above) is if someone is really trying their luck with someone who is at the limits of their patience, they can be said to be skating on thin ice, as the person could just snap.
