Designing an RPG for class, stuck with my loops

Question

So first of all apologies for bad code style, this is my first big project(a final for my python class). I'm stuck on the loop setup I need to move from the "main menu" displaymenu function to the movemenu function, as it runs right now when selecting the choice A from displaymenu nothing happens, the choice b and c work just fine. My guess is its a problem with how I designed the loops, and breaking/moving from one loop to another.

As far as the actual movement goes, I took a pretty good stab at it, but making the menus work is critical to even being able to test the movement, so thats where I am in that regard.

Any input or constructive criticism is very appreciated. Thank you

#map movement functions---------------------------------------------------------


def mapFunc(x,y):
    if x == 0:
        if y == 0:
            print("Sh*ts Swampy yo")
        elif y == 1:
            print("Sh*ts Sandy broski")
        elif y == 2:
            print("trees everywhere bro")
        else:
            print("how the f**k did you get here")
    elif x == 1:
        if y == 0:
            print("Sh*ts Swampy yo")
        elif y == 1:
            print("Sh**s Sandy broski")
        elif y == 2:
            print("trees everywhere bro")
        else:
            print("how the f**k did you get here")
    elif x == 2:
        if y == 0:
            print("S**s Swampy yo")
        elif y == 1:
            print("Sh*s Sandy broski")
        elif y == 2:
            print("trees everywhere bruh")
        else:
            print("how the f**k did you get here")






def displayMenu():
    choice = None
    choice = input("""

    if choice == 'A':

        displayStats(player)

        askPowerTread()
    else:
        choice not in ['A','B','C']
        print("Invalid choice.")


def moveMenu():
    choice = None
    validMapMovement = False

then the file with my main in it

    inventoryUpdate()

something like this is how I would do it, assuming I understand your question ... then you just format a menulist for each menu and it takes care of pretty much everything

def get_player_choice(choices):
    labels,actions = zip(*choices)
    choice_actions = dict(enumerate(actions,1))
    for choice_id,label in enumerate(labels,1):
        print "%d. %s"%(choice_id,label)
    while True:
        result = raw_input("Select Option:")
        try:
            return choice_actions[int(result)]
        except TypeError:
            print "ERROR: Please enter a number choice!"
        except KeyError:
            print "ERROR: Unknown Choice!"

def LookAround():
     print "You See Something!"
def Quit():
     print sys.exit       

menu_a = [
("Look Around",LookAround),
("Quit!",Quit)
       ]
fn = get_player_choice(menu_a)
fn()
