Your partitions make no sense. Home much smaller than root for starters and also a huge swap that isn't needed at all with 18.04 as it uses swapfile instead.

You probably don't need that much swap, you could use swap-file instead of swap-partition, you have plenty of space in your/-partition.

First, the "key" icon beside the lines for sda5, sda6 and sda7 show that you booted from the disk and those partitions are mounted. You cannot change mounted partitions and you cannot unmount partitions you booted from. You MUST boot from some other medium - Live USB, CD, ... Search for "Ubuntu Live" and "Gparted Live".
Then, once you've booted from the Live USB and run gparted, it should be simple to expand /dev/sda7, /home into the adjacent 814.34 MiB.

Expanding /dev/sda7 to "adjacent" 0.8 GB sized partition would be of not much use.
