I can't get what you mean by

but when i do run it it does give the option to have the
tiles moved or anything, everytime i runs it goes str8 to ...what
i mentioned above.

Its gibberish. You can compile my code with Freepascal (delphi or
objfpc mode) or Delphi - maybe newer Turbo Pascal versions also -
and run it.
The program runs in console and you enter the number you want to
move and press enter.

I think it is just difficult getting answers to a program that is made for text based OS or console which hardly anyone programs anymore.

i have to make a game like

5 4 8
9 6 1
2 3

to be able to move the tiles from spot to spot...i got down to making the tiles appear randomly but the moving is giving trouble

Store 3x3 array and X,Y coordinates for the empty tile. Whenever you move from position to other, read the number, write it to old coordinates and clear the cell in new coordinates.

In console like UI you need to input direction to move, for example U,D,L,R for up,down,left,right or you can read actual arrow keys or w,s,a,d.
