How to "slide" sprite a set distance?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m just getting started with Unity, and scripting in general. My problem is that I want to move a sprite across the x axis automatically. A bit like the way Oregon Trail does it, the wagon moves a certain distance every turn automatically. I don’t even know where to start. Any help will be much appreciated. I don’t know if I described my problem well enough so just let me know if ou don’t understand. Thank you in advance!

Haha, stupid me. I realized I was using the right code (transform.Translate) but I needed to use it in update stead of start(obviously).
