In the last few days I had trouble charging my phone when plugging in the cable it won't charge at all even taking out the cable and putting it back in it won't help.
I then have to move the cable back and forth while its still plugged in the phone until I hit it at a angle then it will charge I even tried with a another cable and get the same results.
I have to move the cable in order for it to charge, does it mean the charging port is giving in is there any way to fix it?

You should also think about trying a different USB cable. From what you're described, it's not definitive that the USB port on your phone is actually the source of your problem. It could also be something like a short in the wire of the cable or even something like the plug is worn in some way so the metal contacts inside it just aren't lining up with the metal contacts inside your phone's USB port.
