Penguins either waddle on their feet or slide on their bellies across the snow, a movement called "tobogganing", which allows them to conserve energy and move relatively fast at the same time. They also jump, with both feet together, if they want to move more quickly, or over steep rocky terrain. Source - Wikipedia

They have evolved to survive there.

Penguins can walk at varying speeds, depending on the species. On average, a penguin can walk at a pace of around 2-3 miles per hour (3-5 kilometers per hour). However, some species like the Adélie penguin are known to move faster at speeds up to 4-6 miles per hour (6-10 kilometers per hour).

A penguin's walk looks more like a waddle. Penguins do not move very fast and only walk about 1-2 miles per hour.
