Honestly, I don't fuss with monitors, so I don't know how to scroll text, but I do know how to change text size on a monitor. I believe it goes like this:

local monside = "top" -- Change this to the side your monitor is on.
local mon = peripheral.wrap("monside") -- Just defining mon.
local xy = "5" -- Change this to whatever size you want. 5 is the max, 1? is the minimum.
mon.setTextScale(xy) -- Setting text size to xy.
local da = "Whatever text you want to display." -- Hopefully self-explanatory. Did I spell that right?
mon.write(da) -- Writing da to the monitor.
That should work.
