Burning natural gas to heat the air in the balloon and dropping weights both make the balloon rise, letting hot air out (through vents near the top) makes the balloon sink.
These maneuvers allow the pilot to find air masses that move in the desired direction. No horizontal control is available other than the movement of surrounding air.
