Help me move pieces in a checkers game.

I need to make the game checkers in a 5x5 board. I have created the board and put the pieces in the places I want but im stuck writing the movement part. You can go forward or diagonal.
I had the idea of re-writing the X's and 0's in the selected row and column This is the code:

edit: wrote the code in spanish and I changed some variables(not all) names so you could understand better
