If the OP is a newbie on electrical issues, I would first tell them to hire somebody that knows what they are doing and watch them so they can learn how to do it in the future. Like other people have mentioned, it might not be as simple as somebody explained.
IMO, nobody mentioned get a tester to make sure there is no power to the outlet. The OP needs to make sure all power is cut off to the outlet/box and the only way to make sure is to test the wires to see if they are still hot. There are ma y wire cap sizes, which 1’s does the op need? Get somebody else to do it
