and setup port forwarding in my router, then i restarted the service and it wont open in the webpage. What am I doing wrong?

First thing you are doing wrong is trying to expose an unprotected openHAB to the Internet by punching a hole in your firewall using port forwarding. Please don’t do this.
Use myopenhab.org or https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/security.html to access your OH remotely.
Beyond that, you haven’t provided near enough information to answer your question and in all likelihood the problem is with your router configuration and not OH, unless you can’t access OH on your LAN either, in which case the port forward on your router is irrelevant.
What Rich says - dangerous. It’ll get picked up by bots very soon and listed on the open iot search engines. Not cool.
But, your problem could also be the " java cannot use privileged ports unless its root" feature.
