How to move an image in pygame/python with keypress?

I am making a Pong game in Python. To do this, I am using pygame. I am trying to make an image move continuously on a keypress. I have tried multiple methods, but none have worked. here is my code for the movement:

import pygame, sys
from pygame.locals import *
import time

try: #try this code
pygame.init()

FPS = 120 #fps setting
fpsClock = pygame.time.Clock()

#window
DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((1000, 900), 0, 32)
pygame.display.set_caption('Movement with Keys')

WHITE = (255, 255, 255)
wheatImg = pygame.image.load('gem4.png')
wheatx = 10
wheaty = 10
direction = 'right'

pygame.mixer.music.load('overworld 8-bit.WAV')
pygame.mixer.music.play(-1, 0.0)
#time.sleep(5)
#soundObj.stop()

while True: #main game loop
     DISPLAYSURF.fill(WHITE)

     bign = pygame.event.get()
     for event in bign:
         if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
             if event.key == pygame.K_d:
                 pygame.mixer.music.stop()
     keys_pressed = key.get_pressed()
     if keys_pressed[K_d]:
         wheatx += 20

     #events = pygame.event.get()
     #for event in events:
      #   if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
       #      if event.key == pygame.K_p:
        #         pygame.mixer.music.stop()
         #        time.sleep(1)
          #       pygame.mixer.music.load('secondscreen.wav')
           #      pygame.mixer.music.play()

     DISPLAYSURF.blit(wheatImg, (wheatx, wheaty))

     pygame.display.update()
     fpsClock.tick(FPS)


     for event in pygame.event.get():
         if event.type == QUIT:
             pygame.quit()
             sys.exit()

Indentation is normal, I am new to stackoverflow! I have an except, which is why the try is there. Thanks for the help!

This code will move the image down upon the down arrow key being pressed and up if the up arrow key is pressed (should you not be changing the Y-axis and wheaty if the user presses the down key rather than altering wheatx ?). Do similar for the other arrow keys.

while True:
     DISPLAYSURF.fill(WHITE)
     bign = pygame.event.get()
     for event in bign:
         if event.type == QUIT:
             pygame.quit()
             sys.exit()
         elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
             pygame.mixer.music.stop()
             if event.key == pygame.K_DOWN:
                 wheaty +=20
             elif event.key == pygame.K_UP:
                 wheaty -= 20
     DISPLAYSURF.blit(wheatImg, (wheatx, wheaty))
     pygame.display.update()
     fpsClock.tick(FPS)
