Read the MultiWii WIKI, Beginner's troubleshooting and follow the entire setup procedure.
This is a common beginner's problem due to misconnecting motor/esc, RX and/or improper TX setup.

Did you actually mount the flight controller the right way around? Also check that the escs are plugged into the correct ports.

m mounted the flight controller with the arrow facing the front of the quad. and i have checked that the esc's are plugged to the right ports. does the position of the flight controller matter. like (front, back)
