You can walk away.

As a rule of thumb, already face-up monsters don't impede movement at all, and only force a battle if you end your movement there. You can walk away from (or through) face-up monsters with impunity as long as you have movement remaining.

There are, I think, one or two exceptions, but they're clearly spelled out on the card in question.
