gliss. sord.
I'm not a violinist but, I believe when one composer wishes a glissando for violin but just by sliding your finger across the string he/she must write gliss. sord. So my question is, am I correct and how do you do that on musescore?

On a violin (and any instrument) sord. is short for sordino which is Italian for Mute. There are more Glissandos on every instrument without a mute than there are with mutes. In the advanced palettes there is a palette called Arpeggios and Glissandos. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/palettes-and-workspaces#workspaces for info on changing to Advanced work spaces if you need it.

I knew that but when I did it on the the stave for violin it played it as if the violinist was just playing the notes with his bow.

Every note is currently played on glissandos on every instrument, even the trombone. There's no (easy) way around it in MuseScore. There is a standing request to fix this. See #127341: Add Glissando playback style portamento.
For small intervals, have a listen:

Using bend as a workaround works for up to 3-and-a-half semitones differences. You can also perform that using a hidden 2nd voice rather than a hidden instrument. See for example m127-128 and the final two measures of https://musescore.com/jeetee/scores/2798821
Basically still the same workaround though
