No. Do not use your Walmart role to promote your side business. Your side business cannot interfere with your work at Walmart or use Walmart resources, including your associate discount card. It cannot supply products to Walmart, supply products to any current or potential Walmart supplier with whom you have a business relationship or influence, compete with Walmart, or reflect negatively on Walmart.
