Do you want pixel movement or tile based movement? Unless you know some trigonometry I suggest you stick with tile-based movement. For tile-based movement you could make client.North() move you in the direction you are facing, and East() and West() would turn you 45 degrees left or right. You could use: client.North() (East and West too), the step() proc, and the turn() proc

You will have to fill in the blanks, but it tells you what pre-defined procs to call. You would just have to look them up in the DM help.
<code> client North() //step forward //usr the step() proc East() //turn right 45 degrees //use the turn() proc West() //turn left -45 degrees //use the turn() proc South() //optional, step backwards (reverse) //i would use the step() proc and the turn proc inside //of it to step the player their dirction turned 180 degrees </code>

Look up the step() proc. Look up the turn() proc.

client
    West()mob.dir=turn(mob.dir,45)
    East()mob.dir=turn(mob.dir,-45)
    North()
        var/turf/T=get_step(mob,mob.dir)
        if(T) mob.Move(T,mob.dir)
    South()
        var/back=turn(mob.dir,180)
        var/turf/T=get_step(mob,back)
        if(T) mob.Move(T,mob.dir)
