This series uses a touchpad which is a bit easier to get to MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar 2017 Trackpad Replacement

But I don’t think that’s your problem!

I’m suspecting your battery is failing! What happens is it presses up against the touchpad as you charge the system.

Technically this is a bad battery and needs to be replaced soon as if it ruptures it could be very dangerous! If you still have AppleCare or AppleCare+ I would let Apple deal with it. Otherwise its a bit of work and you do need to be careful, fully discharging the battery before you start.
