My p4p has developed a bad crab walk left while moving forward. I verified that I am not pushing the stick forward and left but just forward. I calibrated the compass which fixed it for a few minutes before it happens again. The faster I go the worse it is. I have to push the stick forward and almost all the way right just to fly straight forward.  What are my next steps?  Here is a video you can see what is happening.

I have no idea what would cause that. I'd try another set of propellers just for the heck of it. Who knows.  Also, when you hover does it want to drift?

No during hover it is rock solid.

My Phantom 3 Advanced did that to me the other day for no reason. Went home and did a stick calibration on the RC. Flew this morning....all was good!!

RC calibration, if that does't work,  compass calibration, if that doesn't work IMU calibration. Only do a compass calibration when you a away from magnetic interference.
Good luck!!

Please calibrate the RC, IMU as mentioned then check the performance in a more suitable environment?
