Distance between point and path

Have a nice day.

Through the path or in a straight line?
If just want to measure a distance in a straight line, you can open iD editor and press Ctrl+Shift+I to open measurement panel.
If you want to measure the distance through the path on the OSM website click the arrows in the upper left corner.
