I have never heard of it. Google results suggest that it is very uncommon, with only a tiny handful of relevant hits.

I did find an entry, but as the 51st item down the list I would imagine it is extremely uncommon. I would bet that most native speakers would not know what this means, and it is certainly not an idiom that one could decipher its meaning from the context.

51.

walk Spanish,
a.
to be forced by another to walk on tiptoe.


b.
to walk cautiously.

I'm a native English speaker in the US, and I've never heard this before. But it does have the form of similar expressions like, for example: "Put English on the ball." I'm thinking this might have been in use in the 19th century and then gradually fell out of fashion.
