My iphone 5 is messed with the charging port so my phone carrier is replacing it free however is there a way to transfer all of my info from my old phone to this new one since it still works fine but just couldn't charge?.... I other words can I just swap "hard drives" or "sim" card and have my old phone back with all it photos and texts??

Connect the iPhone to iTunes and make a backup. Once you get the new iPhone restore from that backup.

Please help me

If you have an iCloud back up, just restore the new phone with that, OTA. Via iTunes is better, as stated above. You should be able to transfer the SIM card to the new phone. Not sure though.
