Music Sheet Selling
I made an arrangement of Pirates of the Caribbean and was wondering how I could sell it. Does MuseScore support music sheet sales?

No. Not here on musescore.org at all, but also not over on the sheet music sharing site musescore.com.
And certainly not for copyrighted music (like Pirates of the Caribbean), as selling that would be stricly illegal

Even an arrangement?

If you have no explicit written consent from the copyright holder of the original, then yes, selling an arrangement is illegal as well.
You always need approval from the original copyright holder to be able to (re-)distribute the work and/or it's derivatives.

As noted, you need permission, and in any case musescore.com doesn't handle sales of any kind. There are sites that do, though, and some of them can handle the legal / licensing stuff for you in terms, paying both the copyrighted holder and you a fair share of the royalties. See for instance Hal Leonard's "ArrangeMe" platform - https://www.arrangeme.com/
