Those cherries sink because the batter isn't dense enough to hold them in suspension until the cake begins to set in the oven. It's mostly the fault of the recipe, not you.
Three things that might help: Make sure to blot the cherries dry before adding them to the batter. Try chopping them into smaller pieces to reduce their weight. And you can try tossing the pieces in flour before gently folding them into the batter. If the walnuts sink too, toss them with flour as well.
