Rotating Cube while walking on Sphere in Unity

I have a planet to walk on. I get attracted by the planet's gravity. The player automatically moves forward, you can just navigate him with A and D.

When I actually press A or D, I move to the left or to the right, but look still forward.

I want to rotate myself instead.

So when I keep one of the Buttons pressed this should happen

enter image description here

My current code looks this:

private void Update()
{
    moveDirection = new Vector3(data.InputHorizontal, 0, 1).normalized; // Always move forward and navigate with A and D
}

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    rigid.MovePosition(rigid.position + transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection) * 15 * Time.deltaTime); // Move the Player
}

So my problem is, that I don't know where to put my rotation code and what to write in there. Could someone help me out?

You need to user input data to rotate the object and then move it in forward direction:

private void Update()
{
    moveDirection = new Vector3(data.InputHorizontal, 0, 1).normalized;
    tranform.Rotate(Vector3.up * data.InputHorizontal);
}

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    rigid.MovePosition(rigid.position + transform.forward  * 15 * Time.deltaTime);
}

hope this helps
