I've created a session in screen. It produced some output. Now I want to see it. So I attached the needed session, but could only see output limited by the size of console size. If I scroll up I see previous console commands, not screens output. If I try to navigate using arrows then just arrow keys codes are inserted. Is there any way to get the output of the screen session? Thanks!

To check whether we are in Screen session or not, simply press Ctrl+a and then Ctrl+t keys. This will show the time and host name if you are in Screen session.
To start a screen session, you simply type screen within your ssh session. You then start your long-running process, type Ctrl+A Ctrl+D to detach from the session and screen -r to reattach when the time is right. Once you have multiple sessions running, reattaching to one then requires that you pick it from the list.
If you exit screen, by typing exit, you lose that session. To detach it, type Ctrl-a Ctrl-d (most commands in screen start with Ctrl-a, this overrides the Ctrl-a command normally used when you want to jump to the start of a line). To reconnect to it, type 'screen -r'.
You need to use the scroll-back buffer in screen. You can navigate the scroll-back buffer by using Ctrl-a Esc or Ctrl-a [ then you can page up/down with any of these actions:

Ctrl-b or Ctrl-f to move back and forth by a page.
Esc will pop you back out of scroll-back navigation.
