I want to say "I just came from the museum by foot" is "Je viens du musée à pied" correct? I know that "je viens de" translates to "I just came from" but I am unsure if it changes when you have a location and you're explaining how you came "by foot"

"Je viens de" translates "I come from" so "I just came from" would be better translated by "j'arrive juste de", "je viens juste d'arriver/de revenir de", or "je reviens juste de" and similar expressions.
They are valid whatever the method used (by feet, car or whatever).
So, here is a possible idiomatic translation (which assumes you came back from the museum to your current location):
Je viens juste de revenir du musée à pied.
