Is the nearest walk to Brownian motion uniform?

Let $W:[0,1]\rightarrow\mathbb R$ be standard Brownian motion with $W(0)=0$. Let $F_n$ denote the collection of all the $2^n$ many piecewise linear continuous functions $f:[0,1]\rightarrow\mathbb R$ such that $f(0)=0$ and $f$ is linear with slope $\pm \sqrt{n}$ on the intervals $[\frac in,\frac{i+1}n]$ for $0\le i<n$. Let $\psi_n$ denote a uniformly randomly chosen element of $F_n$, i.e., $\mathbb P(\psi_n=f)=2^{-n}$ for each $f\in F_n$. Let $\phi_n$ denote a uniformly randomly chosen element...

Answer:

My understanding of the question is this: There is a function $V_n$ that maps the $L^\infty([0,1])$...
