Stepper Motor Running on program start

Just made this change to the code
but now the code runs only once

and the button read is somehow erratic.

#include <Stepper.h>

// Declare the used pins
int dirA = 4;
int dirB = 5;
int pwmA = 2;
int pwmB = 3;

int switchState;
long randNumber;
const int buttonPin = 6;
int counter = 0;
byte lastPressCount;

// Declare a Stepper motor with 200 steps 
Stepper stepper1(200, dirA, dirB);

void setup() {
    
  // PWM pins require declaration when used as Digital
  pinMode(pwmA, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(pwmB, OUTPUT);
  
  // Set PWM pins as always HIGH
  digitalWrite(pwmA, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(pwmB, HIGH);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  
  //Button1
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
  digitalWrite(buttonPin, HIGH);
  
  // Set stepper motor speed
  //stepper1.setSpeed(3000);

}
void loop(){
 
  randNumber = random(3000, 7000);
  //Serial.println(randNumber); 

  int buttonState;
  buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);

 if (buttonState == LOW)
  {
    counter++;
    delay(250);
  }

 if (counter == 4) counter = 0; 
 if (lastPressCount != counter){ 
    Serial.print ("Button press count = ");          // out to serial
    Serial.println(counter, DEC);
 if (counter == 1 or counter == 2 or counter == 3){
      // Number of steps for the motors
    stepper1.setSpeed(randNumber);
    stepper1.step(10000);
      // Seconds to wait
    delay(10);
    stepper1.setSpeed(randNumber);
    stepper1.step(-10000);
    delay(10);
    lastPressCount = counter;
  } 
  else 
  {
    stepper1.step(0);
  }
   //lastPressCount = counter;
 } 
}
