First, the pilot manipulates the control input, a yoke for example. Then, either mechanically or electronically, the signal from the yoke reaches the ailerons. Ailerons are the flaps usually found on the outside of the wing. Once the signal reaches the ailerons, the aileron on the right side (or left if the aircraft is turning left) lifts up. Usually, the opposite aileron will lift downwards. There other methods of banking the aircraft, but the principals are nearly all the same.

Why does the right turn single on a 1985 Buick lesabre limited stay on on the right side?

If you mean it stays on and does not blink then check the other turn signal bulbs on the right side front/back. If it blinks but does not turn off when you make a turn then the problem is in the steering column canceler.
