Lets start off making sure the charger and the connectors are in good shape. Review this Apple T/N Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. Often times its a bad charger or the MagSafe connector on the system is dirty or damaged. We also need to know which model you have as Apple has many versions of the MacBook Pro 13”. Without knowing what your exact model is we really can’t dive deeper here. Looking on the bottom of your case or using the ‘About This Mac’ menu choice under the Apple you should be able to plug it into here: EveryMac - Look up to find your systems specs.

Most definitely Fix the charge port, however, first i would clean the contacts on both the charge cable and the macbook with good alcohol and cuetips. if the port is damaged on the laptop, it’s no problem to change it out, and the part can be ordered for a reasonable price. You’ve come to the right place! There will most definitely be a guide here with your machine, or close enough to get you through it. any other details you can provide about the situation?
