I registered a domain, now how do I set up DNS and everything else to make the site work?

I registered a free domain through freenom , what do I need to do to get my website up and running now? Where to get DNS and where to enter them?
How do I move a site that I made on wordpress installed on denver to the domain that is now available?
Please explain how it works

I'm probably upset, but you still have to buy hosting, where you can post your site from Denver. From there you will need to take the IP of the server and write it down as an A record in freenom.
You can, of course, stay in Denver and be your own hosting. But then you have to configure the firewall, router, etc. so that you can get through to you from the outside, and you will also need to have a static IP. That's when your IP will need to be entered in A record freenom :)

You should read about server dns and ns records. You will need a dns server - usually domain registrars provide free hosting of ns records.
You will also need hosting. Read about hosting, their types and web servers.
In general, the site cannot be moved to a domain. A domain is just a name, an entry in a large distributed database called DNS. The site runs on a web server (Denver was your local web server), the domain record just points to it.
Read on the topic in Google, wikis, thematic wikis, on Habré and here on the toaster. Only ask new questions when you can't find answers in any other way.
