No, it is okay to walk for 10 km if you are comfortable with it.

Along with walking it is also essential to do full range of motion exercises of the knee ie full bending and full straightening.
The length of walking does not matter that much.
Jogging or running on hard surface like a pavement can cause problems so it’s best to jog or run on grass
