This has no effect on your server or databases. You do need to make sure all clients know that they must use a different port to connect.
In most Windows clients, you would use servername,port, as in MySQLServer,5555 in the connection string. However this isn't securing the port, it's obfuscating it. A scan of the server will show which port is being used.
