There is a much simpler way to make your character move:
#define the position of your character, do it outside of the loop
x = 20
y = 40
# note: the more you higher x or y, the faster your character will move.

# put this inside the loop, of where you want the character to move.
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()

if keys[pygame.K_LEFT]:
x -= 3
if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT]:
x += 3
if keys[pygame.K_UP]:
y -= 3
if keys[pygame.K_DOWN]:
y += 3

# the character you want to move, assuming you already have assigned the image
screen.blit(current_character, (x, y))

The code works perfectly but notice that when we change direction along x, it takes a bit of time like a second to load. How do we solve that
