turtle won't move

Hi all, i'm new the this forum sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.

I have a weird problem with the turtles in computer craft. They will turn left or right or dig blocks but won't move. I've tried moving them down and forward but neither work and I've checked they've got fuel and even tried going into the config and changing "turtles need fuel" to false, but they still don't move.

What makes it weird is that if i place a turtle down and run one of the built in programs such as excavate they work fine with no issues what so ever its just when I code my own programs they don't work. To make sure that i hadn't made any coding errors i just wrote a simple code which moves it forward 3 spaces which was just:

turtle.forward()
turtle.forward()
turtle.forward()

and obviously typing edit name (or what ever i wanted to call the program). But even this simple code didn't work and it didn't return any errors so I can't figure out why the turtles won't move.

any ideas?

I've sorted it, well its working for now. I just uninstalled the mod then re installed it and everything seems to be working fine so far.
