Hi @kuldeepsinghurchin,
You need to install an SSL certificate and then depending on what you are using either Nginx or Apache2 enable it to listen on port 443. The best and easiest way is to use certbot. It will install a Let’s Encrypt certificate and automatically configure your WebSerivce(Nginx or Apache2).
You can follow this article for further assistance:

Before changing the WordPress URL from HTTP to HTTPS you need to install an SSL certificate.
