Well Barry would have just been pulled in with Wally if he did help. BTW Barry doesn't go at his full speed all the time. He has gone fast to locations in no time sometimes. Even so, his top speed was not fast enough to save Iris from being stabbed by Savitar. Going by "Wrath of Savitar" opening scene, Wally clocked in at 0.21 seconds to cross the distance. So definitely not FTL at this point.

Still does not excuse Barry for just standing there gawking. He had a good 3-4 seconds to try and do something.
