Hi @kingsparkhpc,
I am sorry but you cannot upload/install themes downloaded from external sources a wordpress.com site.Read more about it here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/If you want to use that theme, you might wanna consider using WordPress.ORG – a self-hosted platform for creating websites,blogs, etc. which also has the ability to upload custom themes.
You can find out the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you want to move your blog contents from .COM to .ORG then follow the instructions given here: https://move.wordpress.com/
If you need help with building your site on WordPress.ORG then you can go to the WordPress.ORG support forum.
Hope this helps :)
