Wordpress: Adding a Custom HTML file

A friend asked me to create a webpage for their wordpress website. I've created the page using raw HTML, CSS, and Javascript. However, when I log in to their wordpress account online I cannot figure out how to upload the file or even make a link to it?

Help would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

NOTE I don't know if this helps, but they are also using SEO Yoast

Go to the theme directory: /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/

Create a file here which will be your custom page template, e.g: customtemplate.php

Start the file off with the following, which will allow you to select this template from within WordPress: <?php /* Template name: Custom Page */ ?>

Create the WordPress loop if needed (this will allow whatever you type in the admin to display on the website):

<?php 
if ( have_posts() ) {
    while ( have_posts() ) {
        the_post(); 
    } // end while
} // end if
?>

Now from the page edit screen on the right, select TEMPLATE - and choose your template name, as defined in step 3.
