The basic code would be determined by how you want it to move. However, as opposed to key conditional movement, which requires key input checking, you want unconditional movement. So, first thing is to remove all key checking. Now, you still may want some conditions placed on movement to determine when to move in which direction or how fast to move (or both) or, even, when to move at all.

How do you want the boss to move? However, most basic left to right would be: 
public void act()
{
    move();
    shoot();
}

private void move()
{
    move(1);
}

public void shoot()
{
    // code omitted (see below)
}
And i also need the boss to fire bullets with the space bar how can i do that.
Multiple discussions involving "space" key to shoot. Search "shoot space key".

Then: 
int yDir = 1;
int speed = 1; // adjust as required

public void act()
{
    move();
    turnAround();
    shoot();
}

private void move()
{
    setLocation(getX(), getY()+speed*yDir);
}

private void turnAround()
{
    int halfHeight = getImage().getHeight()/2;
    if ((getY() < halfHeight && yDir < 0) || (getY() > getWorld().getHeight()-halfHeight && yDir > 0)) yDir = -yDir;
}

// etc.

Use an int timer field to count down time between shots. It can be given the same initial value to count down from or a random value (or it can be a combination of both -- a constant minimum time plus a random additional amount).
