What exactly is your problem? Have you made any code at all?

If your turtle isn't moving, then it probably needs to be refuelled.
Regarding the code you posted, on line 3 you pass a string as a parameter to turtle.forward, which accepts no parameters and will consequently have no effect. To move your turtle forward 3 spaces you will need to call turtle.forward 3 times. For any house making routine, you'll probably not want to keep the turtle moving forever so the while true loop encapsulating your code seems unnecessary. A while loop with an iterator, or a repeat/for loop would be more appropriate.
More generally, I'll infer you're very new to programming and to lua, which is cool, everyone has to start somewhere, but before you start asking technical questions about code you'll probably need a firmer grip on the basics. I'd recommend getting more familiar with lua as well as the CC-specific API's and come up with some concrete code- people on the forums will then be in a much better position to help you.

If a particular program you found posted on the forums doesn't work, post your specific problem in the thread for that program.
If none of them work, then the problem isn't with the programs. The problem is you're doing something wrong. In this case, most likely what nitrogenfingers said.
