Byron,

Welcome to the world of PIC microcontrollers.

For this project you need to know:
  - Which pins of the microcontroller are connected to which LEDs
  - Whether the output from those pins needs to be HI or LO to turn the=20
LED ON or OFF
  - How to set each pin of those pins as an output
  - How to output a 1 or a 0 from each pin
  - How to write a delay routine or to use the timer to implement a delay
  - How to set up a loop

Are you programming in assembly? C? Basic?

What have you tried and what indications are you getting?

Can you post your code so we may help you figure out where the problem is?
