If your WordPerfect version allows you to export your file as a .docx file, simply export it as a .docx file. Then install Calibre and use it to convert the .docx file to an .epub file.
If you have an older WordPerfect version that only allows you to save your file as a .doc file or an .rtf file, you might get better results, if you open your .wpd file with LibreOffice or Office 365 and re-save it as a .docx file before converting it with Calibre.
If you don't want to install Calibre, you can also give DiapDealer's DOCXImport Sigil plugin a try, which allows you to customize the .docx to .epub conversion, but only supports the most frequently used .docx features.
