'Making A Game' - Learning to Code

I'm having trouble figuring out why I can't move on the map. If anyone has any input on what I need to correct, please help me. I've tried chat GPT but it doesn't help much.

If you want in on it, I welcome whatever help may be out there to help me code this in my spare time. If you want to check out the link it is at www.geocities.ws/paulmoon410/game under the folder 'From Scratch' 

Please take it easy on me.

Nobody reached out yet. I'm busy during the week right now anyway. I just finished school and have mountains of paperwork.

The error must be around here, I think.
