How could a human-shaped fluid creature move like an actual human?

So, there are creatures with insane regenerative abilities, like casually putting their severed head back on their neck and it's fixed in mere seconds.

The reason for that is that it's not true regeneration. These creatures are made of a fluid, so if any part falls of or gets damaged, it can quickly be molded back into shape. Their bodies are pretty much homogeneous, the only part that's "different" is their skeleton, and only in the sense that it's a different type of fluid that becomes slightly stronger after consolidating (since it's a framework).

The creatures are artificial and so they don't play by the rules of evolution.

Now, these creatures are supposed to be humanoid and move like actual humans, but how can they do that?
