it's really scary to hear so many people have no idea what they are doing
you turn the bike by leaning, but the only reliable way to change your lean angle is by turning the bars. when you turn the bars, it turns the bike just like a car. unlike a car, when you turn the bike, it leans in the opposite direction ("tips over") but because we are light and have these nice big spinning wheels, we can balance on the tip over as we turn back the other way.
so when you want to turn to the left, you point the bars to the right, which makes the bottom of the bike move to the right at first, which tips the top of the bike to the left, which means you can then stop pushing the bars to the right and they will naturally go to the left and you will start going to the left.
