Yes periods run from left to right (horizontal) on a Periodic Table and they also tell you how many shells of electrons or energy levels each element has. E.g. Bromine is in the row of period 4 and has 4 energy levels or you can say 4 shells of electrons

Groups are the vertical columns and the number of each group tells you how many electrons are in the outer shell of the element. E.g. Sodium (Na) is in goup 1 and its electronic configuration is 2.8.1 -it has 1 electron in its outer shell.
