try this(Don't Forget To Attach a rigidbody to your object and make sure script is attached to object that is going to move) :

     private void Update() {
         Rigidbody rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
             rb.AddForce(Vector3.left);
         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
             rb.AddForce(Vector3.right);
         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
             rb.AddForce(Vector3.up);
         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
             rb.AddForce(Vector3.down);
 
     }

and JS :

         private function Update() {
             var rb = GetComponent.<Rigidbody>();
             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
                 rb.AddForce(Vector3.left);
             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
                 rb.AddForce(Vector3.right);
             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
                 rb.AddForce(Vector3.up);
             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
                 rb.AddForce(Vector3.down);
     
         }

How do I add the object? (And can I have another script to move to camera with mouse?)

Here is my code with character controller. It doesn't have gravity by default so I added it. I assume you want it for a 3d game

 public float speed = 5;
 public float gravity = -5;
 
 float velocityY = 0; 
 
 CharacterController controller;
 
 void Start()
 {
     controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
 }
 
 void Update()
 {
     velocityY += gravity * Time.deltaTime;
 
     Vector3 input = new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0 Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));
     input = input.normalized;
 
     Vector3 temp = Vector3.zero;
     if (input.z == 1)
     {
         temp += transform.forward;
     }
     else if (input.z == -1)
     {
         temp += transform.forward * -1;
     }
 
     if (input.x == 1)
     {
         temp += transform.right;
     }
     else if (input.x == -1)
     {
         temp += transform.right * -1;
     }
 
     Vector3 velocity = temp * speed;
     velocity.y = velocityY;
     
     controller.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);
 
     if (controller.isGrounded)
     {
         velocityY = 0;
     }
 }

This will also work with a controller. The main advantage of using a character controller over rigidbody is it can go up slopes. Also, if you want jumping, it's simple enough, the axis is Input.GetAxisRaw("Jump"), and just reset velocityY to how far you want to jump

     private int speed = 10;
     
     public void Move()
     {
     
     Vector3 Movement = new Vector3 (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
     
     player.transform.position += Movement * speed * Time.DeltaTime;
     
     }
     
    Make sure the Project settings -> Input has Horizontal and vertical assigned to WASD/ Arrow keys.

 public float speed =20;

public float turnSpeed = 50f; void Update () { if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.W)){ transform.Translate(Vector3.forward*speed*Time.deltaTime); } if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.S)){ transform.Translate(-Vector3.forward*speed*Time.deltaTime); }

     if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.D)){
         transform.Rotate(Vector3.up,turnSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

} if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.A)){ transform.Rotate(Vector3.up,-turnSpeed * Time.deltaTime); } }
