Lillabelle was walking earlier! I never knew rabbits could walk. My OH said she did it the other day and I saw her walk out the bedroom clear as day!

What do you mean by ‘walking’ ?
I assume all four feet remained on the ground?
Did these episodes happen as she was approaching unfamiliar territory or something else that was new to her? Was it accompanied by her moving her head up and down ?
Context is needed as some non typical movements can be explained as a normal behaviour in a specific circumstance. Some can be a symptom of a problem
An extreme example being all the awful supposedly funny videos of Rabbits ‘walking’ on their front legs only. This is actually due to a genetic flaw and the Rabbits suffer.. But people who are unaware of this think it’s just an amusing quirk and gets them lots of views on TikTok

Some rabbits walk on their front feet with their back legs in the air
The sauteur d'Alfort rabbit has a distinctive walking style Some rabbits can’t hop, and a single gene is the reason why. Mutations in this gene cause defects in the rabbits’ spinal cords, which mean they can't coordinate their limbs well enough to perform a hop. The gene is probably crucial to...

It wasn't on front feet. That looks awful ☹
My OH saw her do it first under bed. Then I saw her do it walking out from the bedroom to the hall. She walked like a dog on all four paws. I couldn't tell you whether front paws went with opposite paws or not for sure but she just did a couple of steps and then went back to hopping.
I hope there is not something wrong with her

She has no reason to be cautious when she did it tbh but she is a nervous bunny so could be as you described. Tbh I only saw her legs really as it was outside the bedroom. So it is normal for them to do it sometimes then? I've never seen that before
Mine do when super cautious and unsure about something, ears forward, it's kinda weird to see

Yes it is. I never knew that rabbits can walk like that
