If you mean role play-wise, you just don’t follow the tenets laid out in your original subclass’s oath. Then, with DM permission, you can change to be an oathbreaker. If you mean how do you make one in the builder, I believe you need to own the DMG as that is where the subclass appears.
"An oathbreaker is a paladin who breaks their sacred oaths to pursue some dark ambition or serve an evil power. Whatever light burned in the paladin's heart been extinguished. Only darkness remains."
So RAW just breaking your oath doesn't make you an oathbreaker as has to be to pursue some dark ambition or serve an evil power. This might make your aims very far apart from the rest of the party to the point where you can not work together. The features imply you are working with fiends and/or undead. DM attitudes range from banning the subclass outright to waving the roleplay (or maybe saying a single mistake as a paladin is enough to give you these dark powers but you don''t have to be consumed with darkness yourself).

I've been looking at it, but nowhere when making a third-level paladin does it say anything about breaking an oath. does anyone know how to do it?

Roleplay rise speak to your DM.
