What do you call straight forward motion?
You could use vectors as in agi_shi's example or you could simply use x and y variables if you want to keep your code as it is. Then, simply do a rotation transform on x and y based on the player's direction and add those to the current x and y values to get the new position. The vector example is more elegant but I'm _assuming_ this is closer to what you're trying to achieve.

Maybe move should be called 'direction.'

Possibly. In my case it is never normalized, though, I treat it as the basis amount of movement for the current frame. Then it's scaled by the player speed and the delta time.
