Ok, i put a sphere onto my terrain. lets say i want this sphere to be my character. How do i make it move around in corospondence with the arrow keys and how do i make the camera follow it?

If you want the camera following you (stiffly) do something like this:

  • Make your floor (GameObject -> Create Other -> Cube)
    • With the cube selected, Add Component -> Physics -> Rigidbody
  • Make your sphere. With this selected, do: Component -> Physics -> Character Controller.

Note: The Character controller should add a bunch of components and scripts and should get you rolling from there. Default movement is WASD and Arrow keys.

Move the camera above your sphere and angle it down. There are better ways to do it, but this should work.

I'm very new myself but I hope i can help someone else.

Are you trying to move it in 2D or in 3D?
