I had successful ankle arthrodesis in my right ankle 6 months ago. Almost when I started walking again, he plantar facsciitis started to hurt. Any exercises I can do to resolve this?

Thats unusual. I never seen a plantar fasciitis in those following an ankle arthrodesis. It is certainly very uncommon.
First thing, would be to get the diagnosis confirmed that it really is plantar fasciitis, probably by an ultrasound.
Getting a foot orthotic that is designed properly to reduce the load on the plantar fascia is important.
Unfortunately the two best exercises for plantar fasciitis can not be done if your ankle joint is fused, so that is not really an option.
