I just started playing today for the first time I've been at it for 8 hours and I still cant see to move fingers from one fret to the next without olding down the wrong string or missing the beat. Im trying to play Come as you are by Nirvana. It seems like my fingers on my left hand just wont seem to move properly. I did play a scale for about 4 hours but playing it at a snails pace.

How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
Practice, Practice, Practice.
This is the most difficult time because you want very badly to make music. Just know that if you stay at it you can succeed. One of the previous posters had it right when they suggested making your own music at first. Try the G, C, F cord progression or the E, A, D progression. Get a rhythm going... that's the ticket keep it up...
The answer my friend,
is blowin' in the wind,
the answer is blowin' in the wind.

Sorry, but it takes a whole lot more than eight hours to develop those skills. That's why so many of us guitarists practice for hours and hours, for days and days and weeks and weeks.
It takes a while for your fingers to develop the strenght, and for your brain and nerves to develop the positional memory that is necessary to play well.
Just keep working and perhaps in a few more days you'll get the specific notes you're looking for. Then play for weeks and years more and you'll start being able to actually play guitar.
Not being sarcastic, but it just takes alot of work.

practice makes perfect
you can also try just playing around, making up stuff. whatever you play, it will help you get better. even the best guitar player in the world hasn't learned everything, that's part of what makes guitar so fun.
trust me you will get better eventually. the good guitar players have played a long time and many hours.
also you have to build the calluses on your fingers, very important.

Things start out like that, and stay like that for a while, but then sooner or later you'll just start going faster. You reap what you sow, seriously.
