Cannot change my name server

I have a free site hosted on wordpress. I have purchased hosting on bluehost and now I need to change the name server to point to bluehost. When I go into the domain settings I am not given the option to change the name server only the dns records. Please help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello!
I typically would not want to point you to just another site but Bluehost provides a great video to show you how to transfer into their hosting. I have included the link to the video page so you can watch over if you need to. I really hope this helps!

No I just need to figure out how to change the name servers on wordpress.com domains settings. I am wondering if because it was a free site this is not an option?

Hi there,
We actually have our own guide that shows how to do this here:
https://move.wordpress.com/It includes instructions on how to point your domain to another host.

It’s under the Connect a Domain Name section, but here is the direct link:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/If for any reason the name servers won’t save, please reply here with the name servers you’re trying to use and I can try adding them from my end.

Kokkieh I have seen that page, but that is not what I see when I enter that page… my options is email and DNS records. Mine doesn’t say name servers and dns.

Hi there,
I had another look and I see your domain isn’t registered with us, it is only mapped here. That’s why you don’t see those options.
Name servers can only be changed at the registrar where you bought the domain, which according to the Whois data appears to be Tucows domains in this case.
