Write "I'm walking my dog": Je ________ mon chien.
I thought that the answer for this gap is promené, but it’s actually promène.
Is it promène because of the word ‘am’ in I’m ?
Would it be promené if the sentence was ‘I walk my dog’ ?

Bonjour Alexandra !
No, "je promène" is the present form of "promener", and in French it means either "I walk" or "I'm walking" depending on the context.
"Promené" is the past participle of that verb (= I have *walked*), and it's used in compound tenses (with "avoir") such as Le Passé Composé :
"J'ai promené mon chien." (I walked my dog.)
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
