Check your macros in the interface file, make sure .west .north .south .east has the correct key bindings(if any).

direction = arrow-key
west = left
east = right
north = up
south = down

Use 'Find key' to change them.

You should check your code rather than the skin itself.

Make sure nothing in your code is blocking the players movement.

The output doesn't work because it's ID differs from the default setting of which << is set too.. if that makes any sense.

example:
mob/verb/chat()
    var/msg = input("message") as text
    usr << output("[msg]","outputID") // this will display the message in the output on your skin with the ID: outputID.


When you make a new output in a skin, the id most likely is output1. so you either have to change all your "chat" or info texts to this arrangement " output("[msg]","outputid") " and specify which output to display the text in, or change the output id in your skin to whatever is the default setting in which usr << "whatever" gets displayed at.
