We need more details. What is happening when you expect the marker to move?

When I try the orbit tutorial, the rocket just flies vertically when I hit prograde after turning on SAS. Flying with out it is worse, as I don’t know when to start turning. any mod out there that can cause this, or perhaps fix it?

Did you set the navball to orbit mode? If you don't, it will calculate prograde as surface prograde, which doesn't deviate from vertical until after you start turning.

I’ll try that, thanks!

hang on. any way I can more/less have it fly for me, like in the "go for orbit!" tutorial? Also found out that target was what I was looking for in the tutorial.

You would need an autopilot mod, such as Mechjeb, or Gravity Turn
