Left hand thread. Its obvious you need a wrench that fits ove those flat edges.

When you undo a pedal spindle, which ever side, it always rotates towards the back of the bike. That is so pedaling tightens, or at least does not loosen the pedal.

On top of what the others have said, make sure you shift the chain into the big ring before attempting to remove the pedal. It’s a natural safeguard against shredding your knuckles
Borrow the biggest pedal wrench you can find, step on the pedal with the wrench handle almost in line with th crankarm, pull back on the wrench. This will probably lift the crank and your foot into a forward position and that’s fine. That will let you apply a downward force on the pedal wrench.
