I'm new to this software, if you can help me connect the Pin to the Rueda (Wheel), I would appreciate it.

Have you tried the learning center?

Ahh, a Geneva mechanism!
Not sure. I think this is one of the things which is tricky in Onshape. What do you mate the pin to? More Onsahpe cleverness than me is needed.
Onshape cleverness:

That is Onshape cleverness! How's it work?
There are two hidden parts connected by a tangent mate. As the long blue track moves, it moves the "playhead" piece up and down, which causes periodic rotation with a rack and pinion mate.
Ah! I'll have a second, third and fourth closer look.
Should there be a way to just 'do' this? How do other CAD packages handle it?
Is there an existing improvement request?
I think the other way to do it would be with actual physics/collision detection, which isn't really Onshape's wheelhouse.
