To Move
To Operate

This word consists of kanji with hiragana attached. Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means move so the verb vocab version is to move.
うごく
Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You didn't learn that reading with this kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you: Someone is telling you to move. They are saying "you go (うご) over there. Move! Move!" If it helps, have them pronounce "You go" more like "Ugo."
あそこで何か動いたよ。
Something moved over there.
