As you have just started walking full weight bearing your shoulder blade might go up due to pain and apprehension that’s completely normal, no need to worry.

Usually after intraarticular fractures like proximal tibia fractures patients receive a brief period of non weight bearing to protect the fixed fracture Because of that once you restart waking you may feel uncomfortable So it’s advisable to start doing physiotherapy and gait training for the same
Next Steps
Physiotherapy and gait training
Health Tips
As I have not seen your Preop and post operative radiograph it’s difficult for me to comment about the exact physio and weight bearing status, kindly consider consulting your operating surgeon or us for further clarity

After proximal tibia surgery, it is common to have an abnormal walking pattern for some time even after you are allowed full weight bearing. The shoulder moving upward while walking is usually due to compensatory/antalgic gait, often from weakness of the quadriceps and hip muscles, knee stiffness, pain, or the habit of protecting the operated leg during the previous few months. It does not necessarily mean there is a problem with the shoulder.
Next Steps
Continue full weight bearing as advised by your surgeon, but start/continue supervised physiotherapy with gait training, quadriceps and hip-abductor strengthening, knee range-of-motion exercises and balance training. Your surgeon/physiotherapist should also check your limb alignment, knee movement and whether there is any apparent limb-length difference.
Health Tips
Once the fracture has united well and muscle strength returns, walking usually improves gradually over the next several weeks to 2–3 months, although recovery varies. If you have increasing pain, swelling, inability to bear weight, worsening deformity, or the limp is not improving despite physiotherapy, please get a clinical examination and follow-up X-ray.

Get checked by ortho for your gait issues. Also take training from physio. Mostly your issue is connected to abnormal posture while walking
