  Hi there,
  Welcome to WordPress.COM!

  Sorry… but we cannot upload themes on WordPress.COM. We can only use the themes present on the WordPress.COM theme repository.

  More information about it can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  The goal of WordPress.COM is to keep things simple. So that the technical stuffs are handled by WordPress and we focus on creating quality content.

  If you wish to have greater control over your site and want to upload themes from third-party sources, you can use WordPress.ORG-a self hosted platform/software to create blogs, websites and more, with greater customization possibilities.

  Find out the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you wish to move your blog from WordPress.COM to WordPress.ORG, follow the instructions given here:
  https://move.wordpress.com/

  You can ask for help while creating your site using WordPress.ORG on this support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/. Because, this forum only supports the sites hosted on WordPress.COM.

  Hope this helps 🙂
