do I use "aside" element to do this?
By @sambruskin
=============
No. It's not necessary. Nav = navigation. Where it's placed or positioned on the page is irrelevant. It's still a navigation element.
Aside = ancillary content that's secondary to main content. Some examples might be ads, maps or newsfeeds.
Below is an off-canvas push menu with Bootstrap Icons.
