I couldnt get your source code to work, stopped on this line:

TextureDataBase1(B_Index) = D3DX.CreateTextureFromFileEx(blah blah blah)

Anyways, if you aren't interested in collision detection (or you don't need perfect collision!) you can create a bounding box for your model. Just create a 3D rect (a cube) and check whether vertices are inside of the box or not. You could easily create a UDT for the cube -

Type iRect3D
X as Double
Y as Double
Z as Double
toX as Double
toY as Double
toZ as Double
End Type

I believe that would work nicely. Just as I said before, check if wall vertices are inside the bounding box and if so move the character to where they were their last frame.
