My Whirlpool elect. dryer is making a lot of noise and walks forward. Even though it is level. Any ideas what's causing this?

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL LEQ9558KQ1 | AppliancePartsPros.com

You will have to open it up and check.
At the top of my list would be the rear support rollers. One of them may have a flat spot or a totally shot bearing.
Check the channel on the drum where the rear rollers ride.
Next would be has anything come loose.
If it is a rear roller be sure to check that it's shaft is OK just in case that also needs replacing.

Also check that the paddle in the drum is secure.

I would probably check the belt, the idler wheel, front bearing ring etc.
Replace as necessary.
Basically do an overhaul.

Also a good idea to clean/check your vent system.
