Luminous flux is the rate at which energy is emitted from a luminous source. What is the difference between that and the speed of light, besides the units?

If that's what luminous flux is, then measure the energy of each photon leaving the source during some unit of time, sum the energy, and divide by the time interval. Each photon is travelling at the speed of light, regardless of its energy. That's the only connection.

Luminous flux is how bright light would appear to the human eye. The speed of light is how fast it moves.

You are thinking of the flux capacitor. Common mistake!
