As others have said, get some goalie skates. Skating as a goalie is a bit different from skating as a forward. The most notable difference is shuffling which is unique to goalies and very hard to do in player/figure skates. The other is doing true crossovers is pretty hard in pads. We come close but there's a limit. The only time you'll use them is chasing pucks dumped in behind the net. I can't think of a game situation that calls for a goalie to do full speed transitions. The most used techniques are c-cuts forward and back, t-pushes, shuffles and being able to stop with either foot both forwards and backwards.
I started playing at 32 having taken lessons when I was a kid but only retaining the ability to skate forward. I went to at least 3 public skates a week for a month before putting on any other gear. I figured out and got decent (I wouldn't say good let alone mastered) at everything I mentioned except crossovers. I basically took ownership of a single goal line and practiced each technique the length of it. Once i felt comfortable with it I started wearing my leg pads and would practice the movements in them while learning butterfly drops and slides. I didn't take lessons but I'm sure my progress would have been quicker had I done so. I went to the early morning public skates as well. I only had to deal with a handful of figure skaters and sometimes I was the only one out there. The more goalie gear you wear the further they stay away. The trade off is they'll give you looks.
Once you get the skating techniques down and have purchased all your gear get to a goalie clinic or some goalie coaching as soon as possible. It'll help you develop sound fundamentals rather than bad habits which you'll have to unlearn later.
Good luck. Playing net is one of the most humbling things I've ever taken on but it's easily one of the best things I've done for myself.
