Problems using multiple buttons with a servo motor

Robin2:
Assume you have a variable the keeps track of how many buttons are pressed. Then something like this pseudo code

if (numButtonsPressed == 2) {

if prevNumButtonsPressed < 2) { // the number pressed has just changed
       twoButtonsStartTime = millis();
   }

if (millis() - twoButtonsStartTime >= millisForOneStep) {
      // two feet were on the ground longer than the period of a normal step
   }
   else {
      // assume that a step is in progress - perhaps do nothing
   }
}
prevNumButtonsPressed = numButtonsPressed;

THANK YOU! THIS WORKS! Here's the final code!

const int leftButtonPin = 2; //buttons
const int rightButtonPin = 3;

int buttonsPressed = 0;
int prevButtonsPressed = 0;
int twoButtonsStartTime = 0;
int millisForOneStep = 500;

int servoLeft = 5; //servo
int servoRight = 5;

int left = 0; //variables for reading button states
int right = 0;

#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo;

int pos = 0;

void setup() {
  myservo.attach(5);
  pinMode(leftButtonPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(rightButtonPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(servoLeft, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(servoRight, OUTPUT);

  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  Serial.print("Amount :");
  Serial.print(buttonsPressed);
 
  left = digitalRead(leftButtonPin);
  right = digitalRead(rightButtonPin);
   
  if (left == HIGH and right == HIGH) {
    buttonsPressed = 2;
    } else {
      if (left == HIGH and right == LOW){
      buttonsPressed = 1;
      } else {
        if (left == LOW and right == HIGH){
          buttonsPressed = 1;
          } else {
            buttonsPressed = 0;
          }
      }
}
    if (buttonsPressed== 2) {
   if (prevButtonsPressed < 2) { // the number pressed has just changed
        twoButtonsStartTime = millis();
    }

    if (millis() - twoButtonsStartTime >= millisForOneStep) {
       myservo.write(100);
    }
    else {
      myservo.write(120);
    }
}
prevButtonsPressed = buttonsPressed;
}

I realized I, like always, REALLY over complicated this. I can't thank you all enough for the countless headaches you've saved me.

P.S. Am I supposed to resolve this or something?
