Vertical fly-out menu in "Darwin"

I've made a few websites in CMSMS, but all of them had static menus.

Now I need to make a website with a fly-out vertical menu, with 2 levels of menu items.

I'm using CMSMS 1.11.3 "Darwin".

When I attach the default NCleanBlue template to my homepage, the horizontal drop-down menu works. But when I attach my own template, the vertical fly-out does not work.

I thought that this meant that I should reference a JavaScript file in my template somewhere - but the NCleanBlue template only references a JavaScript file to circumvent an IE6 problem.

I found this in an earlier answer by an administrator:
The logic and CSS etc. for drop down menus is driven with the cssmenu.tpl and one of these style sheets Navigation: CSSMenu - Horizontal or Navigation: CSSMenu - Vertical depending on if it is a drop or flyout.
I searched for the Navigation: CSSMenu - Vertical stylesheet, but couldn't find it.

I then found this in the Menu Manager Module Help:
Note that you style the look of the menus with CSS. Stylesheets are not included with Menu Manager, but must be attached to the page template separately.
My question is basically this: do I have to create the Navigation: CSSMenu - Vertical stylesheet myself, and attach it to my template? Or is there such a stylesheet in the system somewhere that I can copy and/or customize?

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you installed all default content it should be in Layout > Style sheets...

I checked there, but there's only the following:
Layout: NCleanBlue
ncleanbluecore
ncleanblueutils

I didn't do the install myself - a system administrator did it for me (it's on a university web server, so they don't like it when people do their own thing on it). I'll ask them to do a full install.

Thanks for the help!

You can use the style sheet from one of these...
