Morphology
The noun 'lockstep' means acting without dissent or in tight formation, and the preposition 'in' simply places an actor within that state, so the phrase denotes being in that synchronized/agreed condition. This is a direct preposition + noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reasonably infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
In lockstep comes from marching soldiers who matched every step so closely that their feet seemed to lock together. So today, saying someone moves in lockstep means they act 'in perfect agreement' or 'exactly together'.
