If the pawn hasn't been moved yet, it can move one or two squares forwards. If there are enemy figures on both sides diagonally in front of the pawn, that makes a total of 4 possible moves maximum.
There is also a move called "en passant". See the link below for more information.

How does a pawn move?
There are generally two ways:- 1. Conventional rule: in which a pawn facing diagonally and closest to other pawn( of different colour), it can capture that pawn and acquire its position. 2. En Passant: It is french method which has been prevailing in International format of Chess. When the pawn is placed in initial position and facing the second pawn( of different colour) in conventional way( as mentioned in first method), suppose it moves two squares to avoid clash; however, second pawn can capture it by considering the first pawn 's move only by single square and acquire position one square less to the movement of first pawn.

Technique in sacrificing the pawn in chess?
Pawns are usually sacrificed to open lines for attacks by bishops, rooks and the queen. One tactic is the Queen's gambit. White moves its d pawn 2 squares. Black counters moving its d pawn 2 squares. White then moves its c pawn 2 squares putting it in immediate danger of being taken by Black's d pawn. If Black does take White's d pawn, Black's center position is weakened because it no longer has a pawn in the d file. White can then move its e pawn 2 squares and control the center of the bord. There is a similar gambit on the King side. White moves its e pawn 2 squares and Black moves its e pawn 2 squares. White then moves its f pawn 2 squares, putting that pawn in immediate danger of being captured by Black's e pawn. The King pawn gambit is trickier to play because Black's Queen can come right out into the fray and cause some trouble. The idea is that White gives up a pawn in order to get a better central position or mobilize its pieces faster. Plus many times the pawn that took Wite's pawn can later be captured and even up the loss in material. There are many other reasons to sacrifice a pawn or other piece, even a Queen. Look up Legal's mate to see this. Study your tactics.
