How to migrate website from WebStorm to Godaddy: CPanel

I'm new to web development, and I just created my first website on Webstorm. Upon creating my website on Webstorm, I chose the option of creating a Node.js Express App, so it set me up with skeleton code that I can easily manipulate to create my own website. I was then able to see what the website looked like by accessing it through localhost:3000.

Now, I am trying to deploy the website. I just bought a domain name and cpanel hosting from godaddy and FTP'd all the files that I had on Webstorm over to cpanel's file manager. I know that I am probably missing out on many steps to make the website work, so I was wondering if someone can help me with that.

Things I have questions about that might help: My website uses NPM to install things like jade preprocessor, etc, do I need to install node on CPanel for those things to work?

I previously used localhost:3000 to view my website and that was set up using Express (right?), so do I have to change routings or something now?

Any suggestions? Sorry if my questions seem very rudimentary, this is still new to me.
