I animated my 2D game but my character doesn't

Question

I've been following Brackeys tutorials to make a 2D game and right now I'm on animation. The animation plays he attacks, the sprite flips both directions, etc.. but still stuck in the same spot. I've watched and rewatched the tutorial and can't figure it out.

Before adding animation everything worked perfectly. He moved across the screen, he jumped, etc.. So i know that him not moving is directly tied to trying to animating

This is my playermovement script I made from following his tutorial.

public class playermovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CharacterController2D controller;
    public Animator animator;

    public float runSpeed = 40f;

    float horizontalMove = 0f;
    bool jump = false;
    bool Attack = false;

    void Update()
    {
        horizontalMove = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * runSpeed;

        animator.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(horizontalMove));

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
        {
            jump = true;
            animator.SetBool("IsJumping", true);
        }

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0))
        {
            animator.SetBool("Attack", true);
            Attack = false;
        }
    }
    public void OnLanding ()     
    {
        animator.SetBool("IsJumping", false);
    }



    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        controller.Move(horizontalMove * Time.fixedDeltaTime, false, jump);
        jump = false;

    }
}

This is my character controller

public class CharacterController2D : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private float m_JumpForce = 400f;                          // Amount of force added when the player jumps.
    [Range(0, 1)] [SerializeField] private float m_CrouchSpeed = .36f;          // Amount of maxSpeed applied to crouching movement. 1 = 100%
    [Range(0, .3f)] [SerializeField] private float m_MovementSmoothing = .05f;  // How much to smooth out the movement
    [SerializeField] private bool m_AirControl = false;                         // Whether or not a player can steer while jumping;
    [SerializeField] private LayerMask m_WhatIsGround;                          // A mask determining what is ground to the character
    [SerializeField] private Transform m_GroundCheck;                           // A position marking where to check if the player is grounded.
    [SerializeField] private Transform m_CeilingCheck;                          // A position marking where to check for ceilings
    [SerializeField] private Collider2D m_CrouchDisableCollider;                // A collider that will be disabled when crouching

    const float k_GroundedRadius = .2f; // Radius of the overlap circle to determine if grounded
    private bool m_Grounded;            // Whether or not the player is grounded.
    const float k_CeilingRadius = .2f; // Radius of the overlap circle to determine if the player can stand up
    private Rigidbody2D m_Rigidbody2D;
    private bool m_FacingRight = true;  // For determining which way the player is currently facing.
    private Vector3 m_Velocity = Vector3.zero;

Answer 1

You may check the values from horizontalMove while debugging or add a Debug.Log statement to check its value while testing, just to make sure that the value is what is expected.

Also ensure that controller was assigned.
