Python Game not going where I want it to go

I have finished my text game in python. But, the only problem I have is that when I type in where to go it doesn't go to that place. It goes to the place under the start not what the user inputted in... I don't see any problems with my if and elif statements but don't know where the problem is... In fact i re-did all the elif and if statements but still have the same problem... 

# This displays the map for the user to follow to play the game in another window. 
from tkinter import*
window = Tk()
# Name of the window that the map is displayed in.
window.title('The Map')
# Size of the window
canvas = Canvas(window, width = 500, height = 500)
canvas.pack()
# This is the file path of the map.
my_image=PhotoImage(file='C:\\Users\\Oscar\\Desktop\\Bangor Uni S2\\ICP-1025-0 Intro to Intelligent Systems 201718\\Lab4\\map.png')

# Opens the window with the map.
canvas.create_image(0,0, anchor = NW, image=my_image)


# Welcome sign to the game.

You are converting the inputted text .lower() and you compare against text that has uppercase in it - this wont work. Fix like this:

if way_picked.lower() == "shop 1":
    shop1()
elif way_picked.lower() == "field":
    field()
elif way_picked.lower() == "shop":
    shop()
elif way_picked.lower() == "house":
    house() 
elif way_picked.lower() == "farm":
    farm() 
elif way_picked.lower() == "dead end":
    deadend() 
elif way_picked.lower() == "field 1":
    field1()

where ever you compare. You might also want to use a .strip() to ensure leading/trainling whitespaces are removed as well before comparing them.

Also: please read: How to debug small programs (#1) to get tips how to debug your own programms in a way to find your own errors faster then posting on SO.

One solution would be to make a small function that compares for you:

def comp(textIn, myOption):
    """Returns True if textIn.strip().lower() equals myOption.strip().lower()"""
    return textIn.strip().lower() == myOption.strip().lower()


# The starting point of the game.    
def start():
    print("                             You are at the start of the game MILK                                          ")
    print("Now you will have to use the map to navigate around the farm to find the almighty, godly, delicious MILK!!!!")

    way_picked = input("Do you want to go to the Shop 1, Field , Shop , House , Farm , Dead end, Shop 1, Field 1  ???? >  ")

    # This is where the user picks where they want to go within the game.
    if comp(way_picked,"Shop 1"):
        shop1()
    elif comp(way_picked,"Field"):
        field()
    elif comp(way_picked, "Shop"):
        shop()
    # etcerea ....

The function comp(userInput,"option") will take care of stripping & lowering and comparing and simply return True/False

Edit: other way to deal with this: create dictionary that holds a key (the user input) and the function to call (as value):

def func1():
    print("F1")
def func2():
    print("F2")
def func3():
    print("F3")
def func4():
    print("F4")


# function are first class citizens in python, you can store them as 
# value (without parentheses) to be called later
options = { "f1" : func1, "f2" : func2, "f3" : func3, "f4" : func4}

while True:
    userInput = input("F1 to F4:\n\t").strip().lower()  # make input trimmed and lower
    if userInput in options:
        options[userInput] ()   # execute the stored function (use value + () to execute)
    else:
        print("\nWrong input!\n")
