After I took an extra-long walk yesterday, my muscles are sore. What's a good way to make them feel better?
Pearl, that's a non-answer. Try to do better.

Your question is better suited to Diet & Fitness, but some things to do about muscle soreness that may help are:
1-hydrate well (also do so before exercise)2-hot bath (epsom salts added, helps) and/or heating pad and/or warm epsom salt compress3-gentle stretching may help (stretching immediately after your workout, helps too)4-go for a slow, gentle short walk today5-gentle massage or foam roll (if you have one)

Your muscles have micro-damage and your body is trying to repair them.
* Massage
* Warm bath. Some people like to ad epsom salts to a warm bath for sore muscles.
* NSAID (but avoid acetaminophen / paracetamol)
* Keep moving. Your legs might feel the worst after a rest when you go for a walk. But, if you are able to do a light warm up, followed by swimming or jogging, they should feel better.
Comment: Although Pearl did give you a non-answer, she does have good advice. When you increase your distance too rapidly, you increase risk of injury.
