it might just be a syntax error or something but my code isn't quite working

I have all the if statements checking for direction in movement and making sure to deduct 5 from the players health but it isn't quite working. any ideas why that could be?

movement.py 
# EXAMPLES:
# move((1, 1, 10), (-1, 0)) => (0, 1, 10)
# move((0, 1, 10), (-1, 0)) => (0, 1, 5)
# move((0, 9, 5), (0, 1)) => (0, 9, 0)

def move(player, direction):
    x, y, hp = player
    moves = [(1, 0), (-1, 0), (0, 1), (0, -1)]
    if x == 0:
        moves.remove((-1, 0))
    if x == 9:
        moves.remove((1, 0))
    if y == 0:
        moves.remove((0, -1))
    if y == 9:
        moves.remove((0, 1))
    if direction not in moves:
        hp -= 5
    else:
        if direction = (1, 0):
            x += 1
        if direction = (-1, 0):
            x -= 1
        if direction = (0, 1):
            y -= 1
        if direction = (0, -1):
            y += 1
    return x, y, hp

I actually noticed that mistake right after I posted the question but thank you for answering.
