OpenWRT Noob here. I run OpenWRT on a VPS with WAN only for the first time. Now I can't access the WebUI or SSH from WAN but I need to configure OpenWRT.
I searched a lot but can't find an easy solution to disable the Firewall for the initial config.
Do not expose the ssh or https services to the internet. Instead, use a vpn. I recommend wireguard.

Also I need to change LAN to WAN.
Maybe, but maybe not. Not sure what you are referring to. I’d have to see your config to be able to advise specifically.
Set up ssh publickey login, then disable ssh password login, then open ssh port, you can access luci via ssh port forwarding.
I don’t recommend opening ssh if it can be avoided. Wireguard is a much more secure option.

Either way best to keep master system in a desktop VM to avoid bricking cloud image.....
