How can I get my UI Buttons to work when moving horizontal

So I'm making a mobile platformer game as a school project and at the moment I'm making UI buttons that would control the player's actions so you don't need a keyboard obviously. So far I've made so that if I press the keys or press the buttons to jump or shoot, player executes the action so it shoots or jumps. Now I'm trying to make so that the player would also move with the buttons on-screen, but it doesn't seem to work.

So in the picture above I have some code w$$anonymous$$ch says as an example that if I press W on the keyboard or press the button I have in my game screen for jumping, my player jumps. Same t$$anonymous$$ng for the shooting. Here I have my code I'm working on so that my player would move left or right. I thought that putting the bLeft.GetButtonPressed would work with the myRigibody t$$anonymous$$ngs under it since it works with the keyboard keys, but it doesn't. I'm just a beginner with Unity stuff since t$$anonymous$$s is my first project with it and I have experience close to none with t$$anonymous$$s kind of stuff so everyt$$anonymous$$ng that might help is very appreciated :).
