A little wave of her hand—the reasonably universal signal for no or nothing or never mind—and then she gestures to herself, mimes two legs walking with two fingers, and then points to him.
She's trying to suggest she'll escort him where he's going, just in case someone else tries to start something with the guy in the wheelchair. How well that gets across is somewhat up to him; it might look like a bafflingly insensitive reference to the state of him.
Just in case, she'll follow up by indicating behind her again. ]
