You got two ball bearings in your head tube. These aren’t the classic ball bearings, they are “angled” for the lack a better term (no native English speaker) and can be taken apart. You need to tighten them against each other to take out any play. On a single crown fork you have a cap with a screw on your stem that does this. Dual crown like you have should be similar in that regard. Keep in mind that you need to loosen the clamping bolt on the top crown for the steerer tube otherwise it wont work.
Alternatively your steering tube bearings are done or you lost some balls from the.
Or do you mean the wheel can slip left and right on its axle?
You probably lost an endcap off the front hub. Look up a parts diagram from for the hub / wheel, and compare it with your setup to figure out what you need to replace.
