Cant get my walk animations to work in Unity

Hi, i've got almost no expirience working with unity and im mostly learning though tutorials so i apologize beforehand if anything should be obvious.

So i've made an export of the model from maya with the animation and tried with bake animation on and off. I import the model into unity and i can see the animation loop in bottom right corner. I also opened up the model and threw on the animation on top of the model, but even though i've done this, i've still had no results. Im having a really hard time finding out what im supposed to do since all tutorials i find on importing animations seem to be of previous versions of unity and seem to not work for me no matter how precisely i follow the tutorial.

Also im pretty sure the problem could lie in the export in maya, but since i have no experience in unity i feel like theres something im missing.

Thanks
