I have added alt text to the images withing Word so I wouldn't think the "alt" error wouldn't be an issue.
However the "src" error is beyond me. I know barely anything about epub file formats.

If the images are not actually embedded in the docx but only displayed via a link (or maybe OLE), t
hen the image isn't available in the epub. Check the properties of the images in MS Word or LO Writer (if using Writer ONLY edit odt, but Save As an extra copy in docx.
Related issue:
If you copy a Word file that hasn't fonts embedded to a different PC that hasn't got those fonts the epub creation software can't embed them. Unlike images, they don't need to be embedded if they are on the PC and recognised by OS (Mac, Linux, Windows).
If you don't request the fonts embedded it may still look OK on a PC viewer if the PC has the fonts, but naturally on Kindle or any epub ereader or app on phone/tablet the fonts will be missing.
An ebook (unlike a PDF or word Doc) can only use internal links to the resources inside it for images. Not all ereaders can even open an external webpage either.
