The Key Listener Is not working properly
I made the Card Layout Working completely fine but what happened now is I added a keylistener to the object character which is a JLabel so whenever the person presses up the character should move up but it does absolutely nothing!
I also tried replacing it with a button which moves it when clicked and it worked completely fine. Also I tried changing the event meaning I changed that if they press up then the image of the town map would change but still no effect so it seems there is something wrong with my KeyListener

A KeyEvent is only generated for the component with focus. A JLabel is not focusable by default so it will never receive any events.
Don't use a KeyListener.
Instead you should be using Key Bindings.
See Motion Using the Keyboard for working examples of using Key Bindings that does exactly what you want.
