I made a walking animation for my sword, how do I trigger it with a button?

when I press play, my walking animation where the sword bobs around back and forth works correctly, but it constantly loops, I want to make it so it’s still when I’m standing, but I want to trigger the animation for when I press W to move, anyone know how to do that?

private bool Idle = false;
private float Speed = 0;

	void Update()
	{
		if(Speed < 10.0f)
		{
			Idle = true; // Make Idle true to trigger the Idle animation
		}
		
		if(Idle == true)
		{
			animation.Play ("Sword_Idle"); // Play Idle animation when Speed is less than 10 (AKA 0)	
		}
		if(Input.GetKey (KeyCode.W))
		{
			animation.Play("Sword_Walking"); // Play walking animation when we are holding W
			Speed = 10.0f; // Change speed so we can move
		}
	}

This should work (P.S this is C#, I can’t code in Java)
