What's wrong with it exactly?

If there's some debris inside, I usually try with a wooden toothpick to carefully dislodge it.

Have to move the cord around to charge phone. Just look at it wrong and it stops charging. Different cords and cg-hargers

You can actually buy the charging port area and replace relatively easily and cheaply. iFixIt will have a total breakdown for disassembly as well.

Yes, that sounds like something may be lodged there. Before going the replacement route, I'd try the toothpick gently and a magnifying glass to see if there is something actually there causing connection issues.
