I know this a pretty stupid question but how do you put an army in boats to sail them across the sea? I thought you just would drag and drop them on the fleet but that doesn't work. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Pleas Hepl. Thank you.

Welcome mason0226
Unit's don't actually enter ships. To send units abroad you just need a port from which to embark, and a ship in every sea zone between the source and destination provinces. Then you just pick the army up and drop it on that destination. If an enemy ship is in any of those sea zones you'll have to sink it first or your army won't be going anywhere. Also if you're invading the province of a faction you're not at war with you'll still have to sink their ships first before you can invade.
-Edit: Holding the 'v' key will show you the status of sea zones, whether neutral brown, friendly green or hostile red.

Re: Plz Help
It's not necessary to load your soldiers into ships. When you have a port in the armies province and an unbroken line of ships between the port and the target province you can drop the stack directly on the target province. Unbroken line of ships means an allied fleet in every sea area between the port and the target province. An enemy fleet anywhere on the line will break the connection. Pressing the V button will reveal which seas are covered by your own fleet, and which are blocked by enemy fleets. Also, the Vikings of the VI campaign do not need a port in the province of departure: they can board their ships anywhere.
A word of warning, though: unless there is a port in the target province, your army will be unable to sail back after landing (with the exception of the Vikings, off course), and ports have a tendency to get destroyed upon capturing the castle. In other words, you probably won't be able to recall your army quickly, and getting your King stuck away from home can have disastrous consequences for loyalty.
