Huh?

C-h f next-line RET gives the online doc, and the very first line is

next-line is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.

where the string `simple.el' is a hyperlink leading to the definition of
next-line in simple.el.  So I don't understand what problem you
encountered using the online documentation.  You can also use
M-x find-function RET next-line RET
to get to the source.

What is your problem?
