what does "GO" mean in creole

I think you're asking what's the translation for the English word "go" in Creole. Is that right?

go ale, al (note that in some the following examples, "ale" may be contracted and attached to other words)

Go ahead!
Ale non!

Let's go!
An nou ale!

Go get me a chair.
Al pran yon chèz pou mwen.

Go ask your mom.
Al mande manman w.

I will go with you.
Mwen pral avèk ou.
(Contraction for: Mwen pral ale avèk ou.)

I went to see her.
Mwen t'al wè li.
(Contraction for: Mwen te ale wè li)

I am going (as in: I'm leaving)
M'ale!
(contraction for:  Mwen ale.)

He left.
L'ale.
(contraction for: Li ale)

They left already.
Y'ale deja.
(contraction for: Yo ale.)

Don't go.
Pa ale.
