The nut will tighten it but if the bearings are shot you’ll need to replace something. https://youtu.be/ERvMQHNF8Nk?si=RfsC0YdJECthAyGd

A hub adjustment should do. Theres two bolts threaded on the axle, cone (inner one) and locknut (outer one). It’s a game of trial and error, but essentially you wanna tighten the cone nut just enough so that there isn’t any play but spins. Once that’s done, hold the cone nut in place with one wrench, and with another, tighten the locknut down. If it doesn’t work, try again.

You can adjust the hub from the other side, but you may need to lock down the drive side first. You will need to remove the freewheel ( tool needed) and you need two wrenches to lock/ adjust the cone on the axle.
