 Good day to you,
If the gyroscope is moved/pushed parallel to its axis of rotation or parallel to its plane of rotation there will be no reaction.
The disc must be subjected to a radial acceleration whether it be in a vertical or horizontal direction to create a reaction, otherwise it will remain, just a spinning disc.

 Thanks.
I read the description of gyro behavior.
It really reacts to turns.
