You have to use a Runtime listener for touch events and in the handler for that, move your character to the x,y for the event. Or you can have an invisible button covering the touch area to do the same thing.

local function movePlayer(x,y)  
 -- code to move the player goes here  
end  
  
local function handleTouch(event)  
 if event.phase == "ended" then  
 movePlayer(event.x,event.y)  
 end  
 return true  
end  
  
Runtime:addEventListener("touch", handleTouch)
