It would help to know the error message you get every time.

Python comes with "batteries included". However, if 'everything' was
made immediately-available, each of your program[me]s would be very
long. Accordingly, the 'batteries' are kept in what is called "The
Python Standard Library". To use a library it must be import-ed into
your code.

Docs describing the library are available on-line, specifically the
turtle module (and some examples of its use) can be found at:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html

Have fun!

On Windows, normal install,
C:\Users\Terry>py -3.9 -m turtle
C:\Users\Terry>py -3.9 -m turtledemo
both work.
