No movement when animation plays (2d)

Hi everyone! I got this problem in the game I'm trying to make, when I press the Attack Button while holding a Movement Button (left or right), it plays the "Attack" animation but keeps moving. What I'm looking for is to stop moving if Attack animation is playing. I've tried a few things, but none of them seemed to work. Here's the code:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;

 public class Player : MonoBehaviour 
 {

 public float playerSpeed;
 private bool facingLeft;
 private bool attacking;
 private float direction;
 private static exSpriteAnimation player;
 
 void Start () 
 {
     player = GetComponent<exSpriteAnimation>();
     playerSpeed = 100;
     facingLeft = false;
     attacking = false;
 }
 
 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update () 
 {
          // Amount to move
     float amtToMove = 0;
     
     // Move the player
     if(!attacking)
     {
         amtToMove = direction * playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime; 
         // Direction
         direction = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
         
         if( direction < 0 )
         {    
             if(!facingLeft)
             {
                 facingLeft = true;
                 player.transform.Rotate(0, 180, 0);
             }
             if( player.IsPlaying("Stand"))
             {
                 player.Pause();
                 player.Play("Run");
             }
             player.transform.Translate(Vector3.left * amtToMove);
         }else if( direction > 0 )
             {        
                 if(facingLeft)    
                 {
                     facingLeft = false;
                     player.transform.Rotate(0, 180, 0);    
                 }
                 if( player.IsPlaying("Stand"))
                 {
                     player.Pause();
                     player.Play("Run");
                 }
                 player.transform.Translate(Vector3.right * amtToMove);
             }else if( direction == 0 && player.IsPlaying("Run"))
                 {
                     player.Pause();
                     player.Play("Stand");
                 }
     }
     
     // Attack
     if( Input.GetKeyDown("space") )
     {    
         attacking = true;
     }else
         {
             attacking = false;
         }
     
     if(attacking && (player.IsPlaying("Stand") || player.IsPlaying("Run")))
     {
         player.Pause();
         player.Play("Attack1");
     }
     
     if(player.GetCurrentAnimation() == null)
     {
         player.Play("Stand");    
     }
 }    

}

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
