Just use (end-of-line).

Or (end-of-line N), where N is the number of lines to first move forward or
backward.

In Emacs, a command is a function.

A function that has an `interactive' spec is a command. See the Elisp manual,
page `Using Interactive', if you want to make a function interactive (i.e. make
it a command, so you can bind it to a key or invoke it by name using `M-x').
