Problem with walk script

Question

I created a walk script. Whenever my character is walking and i try to change direction, the character walks diagonally, before i release the button. How would I stop this from happening?

Edit:

#back
    if Input.is_action_pressed("Back"):
        velocity.y = -speed
        #$PlayerSprite.flip_h = false
        $icon.play("GoldWBack")
    elif Input.is_action_just_released("Back"):
        $icon.play("IdleBack")
        var facing_back = true
        if facing_back == true:
            if Input.is_action_just_pressed("LoadAmmo"):
                $icon.play("LoadArrowB")
            if Input.is_action_just_pressed("SwordSwing"):
                $icon.play("GSwordB")


    #forward
    elif Input.is_action_pressed("Forward"):
        velocity.y = speed
        $icon.play("GoldWForward")
    elif Input.is_action_just_released("Forward"):
        $icon.play("IdleForward")
        var facing_forward = true
        if facing_forward == true:
            if Input.is_action_just_pressed("LoadAmmo"):
                $icon.play("LoadArrowF")

    #left
    elif Input.is_action_pressed("Left"):
        velocity.x = -speed
        $icon.play("GoldWLeft")
    elif Input.is_action_just_released("Left"):
        $icon.play("IdleLeft")
        var facing_left = true
        if facing_left == true:
            if Input.is_action_just_pressed("LoadAmmo"):
                $icon.play("LoadArrowL")


    #right
    elif Input.is_action_pressed("Right"):
        velocity.x = +speed
        $icon.play("GoldWRight")
    elif Input.is_action_just_released("Right"):
        $icon.play("IdleRight")
        var facing_right = true
        if facing_right == true:
            if Input.is_action_just_pressed("LoadAmmo"):
                $icon.play("LoadArrowR")

SOLVED!!!

Basically, if you are only using 4 directions in your game then you should have this script layout (especially the _process). I recommend creating your own inputs.

func get_input():
    velocity = Vector2()
    if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
        velocity.x += 1
    elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):
        velocity.x -= 1
    elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down"):
        velocity.y += 1
    elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up"):
        velocity.y -= 1
    movement = velocity.normalized() * speed

func _process(delta):
    get_input()
    move_and_slide(movement)

Just a guess but maybe check for button up with not event.pressed so it does not happen 'before i release the button`

func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
    if event is InputEventMouseButton and not event.pressed:
        print("ok")

Otherwise please provide more information or some example code please? You character only walks when button down? How does the turning work?
