You can't call methods like that. But you can using reflection:

Just change the first line in the while-loop to:

Method m = myWumps.getClass().getMethod(moveArray[i]); // if the method is void
m.invoke(myWumps);

(you will have to declare/catch a few exceptions)

But you'd better avoid reflection, and use the Command pattern instead.
