I am making a game. I want people to run main.py then they come across a little menu with options. Atm I am getting an error.
So here are the 3 files:
ascii.py:

For some reason. They keys don't work. This is the first time I am using getch(). I kinda understand it but not really.
[Edit]: Oh I must also point out that I am using Python 3
Answer
When you set
move = msvcrt.getch()
you set move to the next pressed character. The line move does nothing. Then you keep looping around and using the same character each time. You need to set move = msvcrt.getch() inside the loop.
There are some good getch examples here:
# File: msvcrt-example-2.py
import msvcrt
import time
print "press SPACE to enter the serial number"
while not msvcrt.kbhit() or msvcrt.getch() != " ":
# do something else while we're waiting
print ".",
time.sleep(0.1)
print
# clear the keyboard buffer
while msvcrt.kbhit():
msvcrt.getch()
serial = raw_input("enter your serial number: ")
print "serial number is", serial
