Stopping player input manually

Unity Engine
1

I’m trying to make the player unable to input anything so that I can do stuff to the model. How does one do that?

Here’s my example:

bool canMove;
void Start(){
canMove = true;
controls.Player.HorizontalMovement.performed += context => _move.x = context.ReadValue<float>();
controls.Player.VerticalMovement.performed += context => _move.y = context.ReadValue<float>();
}

...

void Update(){
if(canMove){
// Movement here with Vector2 move obtained from the controls
}
}

...

void StopMovementToPlayAnimationOrDoOtherStuff(){
canMove = false;
// Do stuff here, add a timer for when canMove equals true again and can move the player
}
2 
// Disable all controls.
controls.Disable();

// Disable individual actions.
controls.Player.HorizontalMovement.Disable();
controls.Player.VerticalMovement.Disable();
