If you mean your object animation is going backwards, then you're in the wrong spot.
If you mean the object itself is actually moving the wrong way, you're still in the wrong spot.

I'd ask you for the project file so I can check it out and tell you the issue, but idk if the mods would be okay with that.

Is your zombie animating backwards or moving back wards?

And assuming obj_enemy is an object, do you have if (obj_enemy) ? That's pretty munch does nothing, it will never be false.

Ah so you need to simply change the image_xscale... Simply do:

Code: 
if(Obj_Player.x > x) {
  image_xscale = 1;
} else {
  if(Obj_Player.x < x) {
  image_xscale = -1;
}
}
Make sure this is in the Zombie Step event

Is there any other code that may be relavant?

Only thing that I can think that would cause this is your player's sprite origin is all the way to the right. Maybe try opening up all of your player's sprite and hit center then okay. It's hard to say by what information we have because that code should work just fine. Only thing I would do with it is take out if (obj_enemy) like this

Code: 
///Sprite Zombie
if mp_potential_step_object(obj_Player.x,obj_Player.y,1,obj_enemy)
sprite_index = spr_ZombieMove;
    image_speed = 0.5;

Edit: I'm sorry probably more like this, But

Code: 
if distance_to_object(obj_Player) > 1
{
    sprite_index = spr_ZombieMove;
    image_speed = 0.5;
    mp_potential_step_object(obj_Player.x,obj_Player.y,1,obj_enemy)
} else {
    speed = 0;
}
If you have any more code to share that you think might help would be nice.

Do you have an Object called "Obj_Player"? This was just an example, you need to use your own player object name...

Oh if your using IndieCrypt's code switch the image_index = 1 for the first one and image_index = -1 for the second..

Or just do this,
Code: 
if(obj_Player.x > x) {
  image_xscale = 1;
} else {
  image_xscale = -1;
}
edit: change Obj_Player to obj_Player. lol.

Then this? I'm not even sure what's going on but.

Code: 
if(obj_Player.x > x) {
  image_xscale = 1;
} else {
  image_xscale = -1;
}
I'm still confused on what the problem is... BUt aparantly he moves towards to, but he's facing away from you.. Is there any more code where you try to make him face in one direction or the other? Lol, basically IndieCrypts question I guess.

Yes, flip him so he is facing to the right... Or simply change the code so:

Code: 
if(Obj_Player.x < x) {
  image_xscale = 1;
} else {
  if(Obj_Player.x > x) {
    image_xscale = -1;
  }
}
