How to make the sprite move a certain amount of pixels when a key is pressed?

Question

So im currently making a 2d game where you use wasd to move up, left, down, right on a chess like map and im confused on how I can make it where the sprite moves instantly to the next squares around it when you press one of the movement keys. All the tutorials ive been watching only shows fluid movement which is not what im wanting (Im also really new to coding in c# so there might be an easy solution to this, but I seem unable to figure this out).

You would not use pixels, you would use in-game units. Put this code in Update:

 if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W))
 {
     transform.Translate(Vector2.up * speed)
 }
 if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
 {
     transform.Translate(-Vector2.right* speed)
 }
 if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S))
 {
     transform.Translate(-Vector2.up* speed)
 }
 if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
 {
     transform.Translate(Vector2.right * speed)
 }
