Rockets do not have wings.
However rockets need a means of stabilization and control, this can be done two ways:
- thruster controls
- fins (this will only work while the rocket is in the atmosphere)
With thruster controls the rocket engine thrust may be varied, the rocket engine nozzles may gimbal, or auxiliary thrusters may be used.
What you are probably thinking of is the fins, which can be either fixed or movable. But they have no lift and are not wings and as stated above many rockets totally lack any fins.
