no-remap means interpret the rhs as raw keys, and not as mapped
keys. Try the following:
First do:
nmap gj j
Then do:
nmap <down> gj
now, since gj on rhs is j, <down> acts as j.

Using vim's help can be tricky.
After typing :help <part of some stuff>, hit <ctrl-d>
Put the following in your vimrc and hit <tab> while in
the command line
set wildmenu
set wildmode=list:longest,full

I found out about gj on this list. However, doing :help j and
reading down a few lines shows gj.
To know how to "restore" a map or undo a map, see
:help :map
and read a few lines below (unmap, nunmap etc.).
