Finding the distance between points, specifically in x and y values

Question

I've been trying to develop a sort of, arena shooter using John Zelle's graphics library, and I've run into a snag when trying to make the enemies move. Zelle's graphics.move() function only takes an x value (x distance) and a y value (y distance), so finding the distance between the player and the enemy using the distance formula won't work. Is there any way I could get the distance between these point in a form of like, Move 3 meters x and 5 meters y? If I had that I could fix this problem.

Here's the code portion I have so far, you can see I've been trying things.

def moveEnemies(self, target):
    #Tells enemies to move towards the player using rise over run calculation
    for enemy in self.enemyList:
      #dTarget = sqrt(pow((target.xpos-enemy.xpos),2)+pow((target.ypos-enemy.ypos),2))
      
      #enemy.move(dTarget//120,dTarget//120)

      enemy.move()
      
      if enemy.visual == True:
        bullet = enemy.fire(player)
        self.bulletList.append(bullet)
