This is very basic code in JavaScript:

var speed = 20.0;
 var rotateSpeed = 3.0;
 
 function Update ()
 {
     var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
	 transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * rotateSpeed, 0);
	 
	 var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
	 var curSpeed = speed * Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
	 controller.SimpleMove(forward * curSpeed);
 }
 
 @script RequireComponent(CharacterController)

Add this code to your character, you move with the W,S,A,D keys. It important to know what you write in your code so you will able to “coding” by yourself. In this case you use 2 variables: the moving speed of your character and the rotation speed (“Horizontal” for the A,D keys (rotation) and “Vertical” for W,S keys (move)). I not the best in explanation so you can use this tutorial to learn tha basics link here (TornadoTwins Tutorail).
