How do I open the same file side by side in a single Visual Studio Code session

Visual Studio-Code

Visual Studio-Code Problem Overview

Say I'm reading file xyz.py, and as function func_x, which is on line x, calls class_y, which is on line y, I want to see both func_x and class_y at the same time so that I don't have to keep on scrolling up and down to read func_x and class_y. How would I open file xyz.py side by side so that I can read both func_x and class_y at the same time?

Edit: This isn't this, as it doesn't explain how to have the same window side by side.
