You have nothing to worry about. The park has many miles of trails that are developed specifically for hikers and walkers of varied abilities and skill levels. Maps are available in several guidebooks and trailguides. They also maps made for the park right at the gift shop at the park.

I would suggest staying in Yosemite Valley. There is a wonderful loop trail in the Valley that is on the valley floor and very level. A walk up to Happy Isles and Mirror Lake would also be nice. It is easy to choose trails in the Valley - they are either flat or almost straight up. I think you would also enjoy Mariposa Grove. It is near the south entrance near Wawona. There is a bit more up-down there but should be doable for you. Have a wonderful time. Be sure to stop and see the view of the valley at Tunnel View. It is truly nature's cathedral.
