Hi! I try to move the player with the keys and I can't, I don't know which part is wrong. Help, please!

extends Area2D

export (int) var Speed
var Move = Vector2()

func _ready():

	pass

func _proces(delta):
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
		Move.x += 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):
		Move.x -= 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up"):
		Move.y -= 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down"):
		Move.y += 1
	
	if Move.length() > 0: #Verificar si se está moviendo
		Move = Move.normalized() * Speed #Normalizar la velocidad
		
	position += Move * delta

If you want to post a block of code on the forum, you need to type 3 tildes ~~~ on a line by themselves, directly above and directly below the code block.

cybereality I didn't know that, thank you

There are a few errors. The big one is that you mistyped _process (noticed there are 2 s). You also need to apply delta and also reset Move each frame.

extends Area2D

export (int) var Speed
var Move = Vector2()

func _ready():
	pass

func _process(delta):
	Move = Vector2.ZERO
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
		Move.x += 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):
		Move.x -= 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up"):
		Move.y -= 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_down"):
		Move.y += 1
	
	if Move.length() > 0: #Verificar si se está moviendo
		Move = Move.normalized() * Speed * delta #Normalizar la velocidad
		
	position += Move * delta

Here's a quick tutorial where they make a game on the fly. You might find some tips there.
