To make sense is to be logical, correct, well-reasoned, or practical. An idea or a program can make sense. "This weekend we will be away, so doing our laundry tonight makes sense." On the other hand, something can make no sense. "He told me to turn left on State Street, but there is no such street. His instructions make no sense." We don't say "make a sense."

To make sense is to say or write something credible or logical. Make a sense is not a correct wording...

Also: Please be aware that 'wanna' is not a commonly used word in written English. We often pronounce it like that, but only a small age group of people write it like that. Look on this site, and you will find that mostly Chinese people write it, and very few native English speakers do.

'Make sense' is good English usage. 'Make a sense' is not. Here are some variations you might see: Make sense! That makes sense. That makes no sense. Start making sense! That doesn't make a bit of sense. But you will never see 'make a sense'.
