You need to insert the right nameservers there.
Namecheap -> Domain List -> (Choose your domain) Manage ( in the right side of the domain ) -> On the Nameservers ( under PremiumDNS ) you have to choose "Custom DNS" -> Insert your nameservers there.
You can ask your hosting support for the nameservers.

Start by changing your name servers to the one in your host. After that, you can go ahead and install wordpress, either manually or through some tools on your CPanel.

does your hosting package comes with a cpanel ? if not install a panel. vestacp is good. there are many others though.
if it does come with a cpanel just watch some youtube and do it.

You will need to update the name servers used by your domain registrar to digital ocean's name servers instead.
