There are a variety of ways to do this, but one of the best ways is to have a single costume (or set of costumes if you want a walk cycle) for both directions. Scratch has a button in the sprite control pane that makes a sprite only face left or right.


^ You want to select the button that looks like this: <-->

With this, you can make a script that rotates the sprite and moves it. It'll look something like this:

when gf clicked
forever
  if <(right arrow v) pressed>
    switch to costume [moving v]
    point in direction [90]
    move [whatever] steps
  else
    if <(left arrow v) pressed>
      switch to costume [moving v]
      point in direction [-90]
      move [whatever] steps
    else
      switch to costume [stopped v]
    end
  end
end
