The canonical URL is generated by WordPress itself - I wouldn't suggest changing it.
Those HTML errors are coming from content you've added into the website, not the theme itself. You'll want to make the suggested changes to the added HTML.
actually it showing duplicated titles and description which is bad for seo. that why i want to change.
thanks
Where's it showing the duplicate titles and description? Do you mean the meta tags in the <head> section?
If so, you most likely have a couple plugins doing the same thing, as GP leaves those elements to WordPress.

These are handled by WordPress - not the theme.
I suggest using Yoast SEO, as they allow you to set a custom link: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/canonical-urls-in-wordpress-seo/
