This (AFAIK) is an initial-boundary value problem. Initial with respect to
time and boundary with respect to space. CN can be used for IVP.
For BVP you have to use other method, like FDM, FEM or other.
For 1D (space) your problem can be written:
?u(x,t)/?t = - ?^2 ?^2u(x,t)/?x^2 + ?(u^3(x,t))/?x - ?u(x,t)/?x
After spatial discretisation RHS will be some expression of
discrete u(x_i,t).
Beside boundary conditions you have to specify initial condition
u(x,0) = f(x)
