Works fine here, which emacs version do you use?  Maybe some major-mode
or minor-mode keymap is in the way (maybe worth a bug report, but I'm
not sure what the policy about these useless keys is).

(global-set-key (kbd "<S-left>") #'(lambda ()
                                     (interactive)
                                     (backward-char 10)))

(global-set-key (kbd "<S-right>") #'(lambda ()
                                      (interactive)
                                      (forward-char 10)))

Just use the output of C-h k as an argument to `kbd', works always.

Do you know about universal argument?

C-u C-f -> forward 4 chars
C-u C-u C-f -> forward 4*4=16 chars
M-1 M-0 C-f -> forward 10 chars
C-4 C-2 C-f -> forward 42 chars
