Why isn't this code working

http://www.pastebin.com/gSLFM8NT
The part of this code where it should be printing "Moved Forward" isn't working. Its not giving me an error, its just not printing it. Why?
The code I'm having trouble with is near the end.

Replace:

turtleWentForward = turtle.forward()
if turtleWentForward == true then

With just:

if turtle.forward() then

Thank you, but for curiosity's sake, why doesn't my code work? I feel like it should

Replace the parts that are just like that by doing the same.

Actually this isn't working

Well of course, making that change changes nothing with how the program works, it is just a more readable solution. What is the error that you're getting? or is it just simply not moving, if so have you fuelled the Turtle?

Turtle is fueled, not getting an error, just not printing "Moved Forward"

Can we get a screenshot of your setup, as well as a screenshot after running the 'refuel' program.

detectBlock = turtle.detect()
if detectBlock == true then
  turtle.dig()
  turtle.forward()                          -- Move forward, ignore the result.
end
if detectBlock == false then
  turtle.forward()                          -- Move forward, ignore the result.

turtleWentForward = turtle.forward()        -- Try to move forward *again*, store the result.
if turtleWentForward == true then           -- If the *last* move attempt was successful, then...
  print("Moved Forward")
      end
   end

You've got three attempts to move piled in there, and you only check the results of the one which is nearly sure to fail (because the turtle just moved forward, and hence likely has a block in front of it) - thus the print statement will seldom be executed.

Try it like this:

while turtle.detect() do   -- As long as turtle.detect() returns true,
	turtle.dig()       -- repeat this.
end

while not turtle.forward() do  -- Until turtle.forward() returns true,
	turtle.attack()     -- repeat this.
end

print("Moved Forward")

It's also worth being clear about your issues - don't say things "aren't working", describe what happens instead. People here are assuming the turtle isn't moving at all.
