You are missing a view normal JavaScript things. Like defining port. And the .listen function takes in the port variable rather than a string saying "PORT"
See working example:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 8443;
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Server running on port ${port}!`));
