There are many step-by-step tutorials out there. Searching "Altera FPGA tutorials" on Google yields a lot of results. I recommend picking one that looks similar to what you'd like to do and go through it completely.
Simulation is separate and not at all required to get something running on an FPGA. If it's a complex logic design, then you should simulate...but, as to how you simulate...well, it depends. It depends on what language you wrote your code in and what tools you have at your disposal.
Best of luck!
