No they are different types of crossing.
A zebra crossing is used on quietier roads. The cars stop for you when you step on the crossing.
A pedestrain crossinghave traffic lights to stop the cars. It tells you when to cross via lights and bleeps for the blind.
PS. if you haven't guessed a zebra crossing is black and white stripped.

Light, no light, big road or shopping center, they are all interchangeably crosswalk or pedestrian crossing here.

It seem that our friends in America/Canada use crosswalk rather than a zebra crossing. That might suggest that you are learning British English rather than American English. Either way the old man was helped across the road at a crossing.
