How do I make my player idle or add speed for when im moving up or down in Unity(2021)? - unity3d

Question

Here's my code for player movement. I have set up walking around and I am now Trying to change the sprite animation when walking in different directions. Everything was working fine but when I tried to change the sprite for walking up the sprite gets stuck in a loop and doesn't idle.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public Animator Animator;
[SerializeField] private float speed = 1f;
private Rigidbody2D body;
private Vector2 axisMovement;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
body = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
axisMovement.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
axisMovement.y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
Animator.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(axisMovement.x));
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
{
Animator.SetBool("isforward", true);
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
{
Animator.SetBool("isforward", false);
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
{
Animator.SetBool("isforward", false);
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
{
Animator.SetBool("isforward", false);
}
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
Move();
}
private void Move()
{
body.velocity = axisMovement.normalized * speed;
CheckForFlipping();
}
private void CheckForFlipping()
{
bool movingLeft = axisMovement.x < 0;
bool movingRight = axisMovement.x > 0;
if (movingLeft)
{
transform.localScale = new Vector3(-1f, transform.localScale.y);
}
if (movingRight)
{
transform.localScale = new Vector3(1f, transform.localScale.y);
}
}
}
I also tried doing Animator.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(axisMovement.x)); but switch it with axisMovement.y but that stops all the animations moving left and right stop working. 😢

I've figured it out. here's the updated code
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public Animator Animator;
[SerializeField] private float speed = 1f;
private Rigidbody2D body;
private Vector2 axisMovement;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
body = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
axisMovement.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
axisMovement.y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
Animator.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(axisMovement.x + axisMovement.y));
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
{
Animator.SetBool("isforward", true);
} else {
Animator.SetBool("isforward", false);
}
// if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
// {
// Animator.SetBool("isforward", false);
// }
// if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
// {
// Animator.SetBool("isforward", false);
// }
// if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
// {
// Animator.SetBool("isforward", false);
// }
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
Move();
}
private void Move()
{
body.velocity = axisMovement.normalized * speed;
CheckForFlipping();
}
private void CheckForFlipping()
{
bool movingLeft = axisMovement.x < 0;
bool movingRight = axisMovement.x > 0;
if (movingLeft)
{
transform.localScale = new Vector3(-1f, transform.localScale.y);
}
if (movingRight)
{
transform.localScale = new Vector3(1f, transform.localScale.y);
}
}
}
