Menu button wont move vertically

I’m trying to make a menu open button for my website, but there’s one slight problem, when I try to assign it to move vertically, for example do margin-top: 100px it won’t move. But when I set a margin-left it changes position and moves horizontally! I have no idea as to why this is happening. I would love to get some advice on how to put the menu button a bit further downwards. I have a feeling it has something to do with the attribute being a span, but I have no idea. Any help is greatly appreciated.

function openNav() {
  document.getElementById("myNav").style.width = "100%";
}
function closeNav() {
  document.getElementById("myNav").style.width = "0%";
}

I have a feeling it has something to do with the attribute being a span

That is right, because the span is by default has display: inline, and if you change it to display: block and apply some margin-top: 100px you see it changes the position.

.openNav{
  display: block;
  margin-top: 100px;
}
