I know this means "I walk" but what is the name of this tense? I can't find it when I look for it among 'compound tenses.'
Thank you!

According to Spanish grammar, it is not a tense, but a special construction called periphrasis. Spanish has over periphrases, and if we came up with a tense name for each of them, Spanish would effectively have over 1000 tenses. This is just one of those periphrases in present tense ("voy" + present perfect).
