How do I control my character after making a new level?!

Hi,
I have looked everywhere and cannot find the resolution to this. I used third person example map and from there creates a new level and put my third person character with all the same blueprints and inputs form thirdpersonexamplemap into the world. I can’t control it!! I have tried messing with world settings, the closest I got, was when I was able to navigate the world in fp but it was a really fast moving/ flying perspective controled with wasd. I just want to know exactly how to control my character using the same controls/blueprints as in thirdpersonexamplemap. Also beware, I am a NOOB. PLZ HELP!
Side note: my third person character blueprints in the new level are completely the same, and he is in the enviroment with the follow camera, I just can’t control him or even see through the proper camera.
