You'll need to create and add AI packages. The best place to go to learn how to make them is TES Alliance. They have the only modding classes that I know of and their NPCs & AI classes are just what you need.

 

Class 1

 

Class 2

 

Class 3

 

Class 4

 

If you still have questions after completing those, there is a General Q & A thread you can ask in.

While the best place would be TESA, the CS Wiki has some AI tutorials as well, among others.

Take a look at some of the vanilla Oblivion NPCs for one that has an AI package that you may be interested in (say one that shows a package to go to a chapel). Take note of the type of package and any targets and/or conditions that that package uses. Sometimes you'll need to add markers to have a target to travel to ... other times you'll need a bench or chair (which needs the 'persistent' box checked under it's properties). The Construction Set Wiki is a good source to get you started (here's a link to the Actor Behavior section). Between researching, experimenting and testing it will start to become clear.
