If it's physical damage, then you'll just have to fix it. Or buy a new cord. Could be either one, but you have to supply more information.

ok...well every time I plug in the Ethernet cord into my laptop to connect to the internet (when I do not want to use the wifi) I can not get on the interent. Also the Ethernet cord gets stuck in the port sometimes.

It's likely physical damage, Try taking it to your local PC store and see if they can replace it for you.

Does nothing happen at all when the cable is plugged in? Does it show up in the Network and Sharing Centre? You can check to see if someone has accidentally disabled the ethernet port which can happen.
