Https is to do with the actual website not the html. To get https, you need a certificate from a CA to enable https. LetsEncrypt gives out free https certificates. Then after you need to configure your website to use https and upload the certificate to your server

Alternatively you can use Cloudflare to get free https. All you need to do is change your site's nameservers to Cloudflare. Ie. My site https://hassie.tk uses Cloudflare for SSL and if you check the certificate, you'll see it's from Cloudflare. You also get one of the best and strongest encryption, Poly1305 CHA which is the same encryption used by Google.
