1. l can’t run and walk.

2. l can’t run and can’t walk.

Sentence #1 sounds more natural and is less wordy.

Sentence #2 is a little wordy and sounds a bit repetitive,

However the second use of can't can be used for emphasis if you say it louder and longer (give it more stress).

You could change sentence # 1 to; I can't run or walk. T
