After the first cutscene where dumbledore introduces himself to Harry, I can’t get Harry to move when I press the arrow buttons on my keyboard. I have checked the control settings and everything looks fine there, but I’m not sure what’s causing this issue

Are you playing at uncapped frame rate? Game has serious problems at high FPS. Also, try remapping every control key before starting a new game.
That sort of fixed it. I can move Harry forwards and backwards without any issue, but when I press the left and right arrow keys, Harry steps to the left and right instead of turning.
That's odd. I'm pretty sure strafing left/right was introduced in Chamber of Secrets and wasn't possibile in Philosopher's Stone without mods. Anyway, just use W and S (or Up arrow and Down arrow) to move forward/backward and the mouse to turn Harry. It's the best way to play.
