(with the help of iciba:) lose one's way 迷路 seems to be most commonly used expression, and is a separable verb (迷了路）
迷途 less common，not separable，e。g。她走离了正路,迷途了.She strayed from the road and got lost.
迷失  lose (one's way, etc.), used with additional object e.g.迷失方向. 
走失   3.The child strayed away from home.
