This is how you control motors:

If your motor is small enough, you can also get a motor driver IC. It does not require you to PWM it.

To PWM, all you do is this:

bring a digital port high
wait 1 milisecond (or whatever time)
bring a digital port low
wait 1 milisecond (or whatever time)
loop

Chances are you have sample code to turn on/off an LED? Its exactly the same code, just the loop goes really really fast.
