I saw an example sentence from the video 2.6: Subisteis las escaleras para ir al segundo piso. Is "para ir" a phrase, meaning "in order to go"?

It's not a unique set phrase but yes, that's the meaning. The general principle behind it is "para + infinitive" - "in order to (do something)".
(More advanced Spanish users, feel free to correct me.)
