It says that because cd is not a root command. Since you are newbie to Ubuntu, i will assume you're using gutsy version. If you want to install the flash player, make it by apt-get. On the terminal type:

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

If you type the command below, it will instal not only the flash plugin but java, mp3, quicktime support and the microsoft true type core fonts (such as aria and times new roman):

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

if you are using kubuntu ou xubuntu, substitute them on the package above (eg. kubuntu-restricted-extras)

Hope it helped.
