Shipyard has been built and ready in Deployment.
I want to add this shipyard to increase the port size from 8 to 9.
I click the port hex and click the Helmet to open the Deployment.
Once the Helmet is clicked, the pointer at the port hex is gone.
I click the Deploy. "No valid location to deploy the unit" message appears.
How do I add a shipyard to the port hex?

I did.
When play, the naval units do not move out.
It shows the Port Size of 5 in the floating information panel.
In the Editor, there are 2 symbols used for Urban Port.
What are their difference?

You put that port/city on a land hex. It needs to have 1 side water. Also you need to change the beach hexes to allow the ships to leave and remove the mine fields.
