You cannot change the internal (LAN) port number.
The port is hard coded so all Plex apps know how to find & talk to the server.

You only change the external port. Your modem/router/Firewall does the NAT translation from external → internal.

On your LAN, you always use Internal.

If you’re wanting to change this because you access Plex through Package Center external to your home,

The most common suggestion is to use https://app.plex.tv/desktop and make a bookmark.

Here is an example of port forwarding in the router:

The port number you use for the External port should be entered into Plex Settings > Server > Remote Access > Manually Specify Public Port and then click Apply.

You do NOT change the internal port, as ChuckPa stated, it always remains at 32400, so there is no need to change your URL shortcut.
