Abdullaah, you can buy the replacement port itself on most of the online merchants such as AliExpress, Amazon and eBay.

In order to replace it yourself, you'll need to use the 3DS Motherboard Replacement guide to remove the motherboard, then unsolder the old port and solder in the new one.

If you don't feel confident enough in your soldering and repair skills to do the repair, you'll need to locate a repair shop that can do the job for you. For a competent technician this should be a fairly straight-forward repair and shouldn't cost too much.

Just for reference, there's another post on the same subject that has more information for you.
