Trying to make a point-and-click adventure-style game

It’s been a while since I’ve talked here, but I’ve sort of ran into a very small issue when it comes to a game I’m trying to make. Well, maybe it’s not really an issue, but I’m not experienced in JS enough to make it.

I want to make a game sort of like The Secret of Monkey Island (if anyone here knows what that game is), and I think I have the basic concept down, I just don’t have the code for the player movement.

If it helps, this is the EXTREMELY RUDIMENTARY concept I made on a whim one day for the Candlestick discord server to explain what I want to do further:

Honestly, I think I should update it some more because the mouse clicking isn’t really that clear, but I don’t think I have the original version of this picture to do that
Thank you to anyone who can help me :'D
