[Python] Why can't I get my text based game code to work right?

I am trying to create a text based game code. The opening works just fine, however, I can't get the game to move passed the Foyer. Beyond that, there are a few yellow errors that are popping up, but nothing in red. Please help!

Here is my current code:

import os

# Display starting menu
def prompt():
print("Dragon Text Adventure Game")
print("Collect 6 items to win the game, or be eaten by the Dragon.")
print("Move Commands: go South, go North, go East, go West")
print("Add to Inventory: get 'item name'")

input("Press any key to continue...")

# Clears screen
def clear():
os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')


# Map
rooms = {
'Foyer': {'South': 'Dining Room'},
'Dining Room': {'North': 'Foyer', 'East': 'Hallway1', 'West': 'Hallway2', 'South': 'Hallway3', 'Item': 'Key'},
'Hallway1': {'West': 'Dining Room', 'East': 'Kitchen'},
'Kitchen': {'West': 'Hallway', 'Item': 'Bloody Knife'},
'Hallway2': {'South': 'Ladies Room', 'West': 'Sons Room', 'North': 'Daughters Room'},
'Ladies Room': {'North': 'Hallway2', 'Item': 'Family Photo'},
'Sons Room': {'East': 'Hallway2', 'Item': 'Book of Necromancy'},
'Daughters Room': {'South': 'Hallway2', 'Item': 'Health Potion'},
'Hallway3': {'South': 'Lords Room'},
'Lords Quarters': {'South': 'Hallway 4', 'Item': 'Book of Lords mad Ramblings'},
'Hallway4': {'North': 'Lords Quarters', 'South': 'Room Off Lords Quarters'},
'Room Off Lords Quarters': {'North': 'Hallway4', 'Boss': 'Dragon'}
}

# List to track inventory
inventory =[]

# Tracks current room
current_room = 'Foyer'
command = ''
# Result of last room
msg = ''

clear()

prompt()

# Gameplay loop
while True:

clear()

# Display info player
print(f'You are in the {current_room}\n Inventory: {inventory}.')

# Display msg
print(msg)

#Item indicator
if 'Item' in rooms[current_room].keys():
nearby_item = rooms[current_room]['Item']

if nearby_item not in inventory:

print(f'You see a {nearby_item}.')

# Boss encounter
if 'Boss' in rooms[current_room].keys():

# Lose
if len(inventory) < 6:
print(f'You lost the fight with {rooms[current_room]["Boss"]}.')
break

# Win
else:
print(f'You beat {rooms[current_room]["Boss"]}.')
break

# Accept player's move as input
user_input = input('Enter you move:\n')

next_move = user_input.split(' ')

action = next_move[0].title()


if len(next_move) > 1:
Item = next_move[1:]
direction = next_move[1].title()

item = ' '.join(Item).title()


# Moving between rooms
if action == 'go South':

try:
current_room = rooms[current_room]['South']
msg = f'You travel {direction}.'

except:
msg = f'You cant go that way'

# Picking up items
elif action == 'get':

try:
if Item == rooms[current_room]['Item']:

if Item not in inventory:

inventory.append(rooms[current_room]['Item'])
msg = f'{Item} retrieved.'

else:
msg = f'{Item} already retrieved.'

except:
msg = f'Cant find {Item}.'

# Exit game
elif action == 'Exit':
msg = f'Goodbye.'
break

# Any other commands invalid
else:
msg = f'Invalid command.'


Because I can't get passed the first part of this game as the input for directions isn't working, I don't know if I can pick up any items, or if the rest of this code even works. So if someone could please check this whole code for me, and help me make sure that it will work, that would be great! Thanks.

P.S. I am learning Python, so everything would need to be easy for me to input into that program.
