No. Your internet connection does not come straight from a wall.
The wall port is only the physical connection to the network serving your room or location.
There is a router or modem/router somewhere supporting that network by providing internet connectivity and assigning IP addresses to devices authorized to be on the network.
It is that router that needs to be configured to permit port forwarding.
You simply do not have access to that router or modem/router. And access to that router is (and should be) protected by login name and password.
And forum rules prohibit helping with bypassing logins and password requirements.
You will need to find the router's administrator and discuss the matter with that person.

Makes sense, I didn't know how to explain it any better than that it comes from the wall since I'm not an expert when it comes to these things, but thanks for your answer.
I going to have to talk to my ISP I'm guessing if I want to be able to port forward.
