Function is not working properly

Dear All, This function should return updated value based on the input I am giving. But its returning the output without modifying anything. Please help.

def move_player(player, move):
    x, y = player
    if x == "LEFT":
        x -= 1
    if x == "RIGHT":
        x += 1
    if y == "UP":
        y -= 1
    if y == "DOWN":
        y += 1
    player = x, y
    return player

print(move_player((5, 6), input("> ").upper()))

def move_player(player, move):
    x, y = player
    if move.upper() == "LEFT":
        x -= 1
    if move.upper() == "RIGHT":
        x += 1
    if move.upper() == "UP":
        y -= 1
    if move.upper() == "DOWN":
        y += 1
    player = x, y
    return player

I don't know how the rest of your code looks, but try this^. It is probably your move input that will be one of the following: LEFT", "RIGHT", "UP" or "DOWN". So you will probably want to check move and then change the coordinates of the player (x, y), depending on the Move direction. Feel free to respond back if this didn't help you, then I can share my full code for this scipt
