That's the problem though. Java doesn't support using direction keys nor generally modifying the screen's content without having a GUI.
When using just characters in the console, Java accepts input typed and pressing <enter>, and it can write lines. That's it.
For modifying the console's screen, you'd need thirdparty libraries that use native access to the console, as Java's provided APIs don't support that.

i was thinking like writing a W and it changes the position of the character and refreshes the game board and then asks for another movement

Writing W then <enter> and displaying the board again, yes, that works

[trim fable]

do you have any ideas how i can make it move that is the part i am stuck on right now

[obsidian dock]

"move"?

[trim fable]

i write for an example W and a char moves up

Like I said, you can display the board again, in new lines, dragging up the previous display.
Something else but that, you cannot

At least, not without a GUI nor a native thirdparty library
