Hey,
You'll have to start by using heat on the frame to loosen the adhesive holding the screen in place.
This can be done via: heat-pad, heat gun, the heat bed on a 3D printer, or if you're really patient a hair dryer.
By the looks of it there will be 1x ribbon cable for the screen You'll have to disconnect before swapping over to the new screen.
Take care not to damage any ribbon cables
Use IPA ( Isopropyl Alcohol, at least 98%) this will help soften the adhesive to make it easier to remove, it will also help remove the old adhesive and clean up the frame, ready to apply fresh adhesive for the new screen.
Here is a YouTube video I have found that may assist you.

I recommend using a suction cup to help lift the screen, iFixit has a couple options.

I also recommend using a Jimmy or plastic picks to help get under the screen.

You’ll need to buy a compatible replacement screen and either follow a step-by-step repair guide or take it to a professional technician for safe installation.
