"vorangehen" has several meanings, e.g. "to lead the way" / "go as the first of a group". In the expression "es geht (nicht) voran" it means "it's (not) making progress" (see also: vorankommen=to get forward/ahead)

"fortfahren" means to continue after a pause or to go on with the next in a series. It can also mean to "drive away".
