Morphology
The meaning 'a walk taken during twilight' is directly compositional from 'twilight' (the dim light after sunset) + 'walk' (an instance of walking). This straightforward noun–noun combination follows common English and cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
The phrase twilight walk paints the simple image of a walk taken in twilight, when the sun is setting and the light is softly fading. So it means 'a peaceful stroll at the end of the day' and is used to describe a calm, late-evening walk.
