sleep walking accurs when your muscles are not completely relaxed. The reason you sleep is to get energy & you are paralised in your sleep which paralises all your muscles so you do not act out the things you dream. You can wake them but it may startle them & cause them to panic in their brains causing them to hurt themselves. It can also be very dangerous NOT to wake them. It depends what they are doing. They could be sleep walking, sleep running, even sleep driving.
AnswerNo, but it is dangerous to wake a sleep-DRIVER.

Yes, if you wake them up they don't know what there doing. The only time it's important to wake up a sleepwalker is if there having a nightmare. Like if they walk out the door and go do something dangerous, WAKE THEM UP!

It is not recommended to wake a sleepwalker because it can startle them and potentially lead to confusion or disorientation. It is safer to gently guide them back to bed without fully waking them up.

Generally nothing drastic. They would be initially confused but for the vast majority this would last only a few seconds There are many old wives tales that it is dangerous but the usual reaction is similar to waking someone from a deep sleep in bed or elsewhere.
They may suffer from temporary distress or confusion. Best thing is to protect a sleepwalker from themselves and lead them back to bed if possible
