my skywalking version is 6.5

Yes, you can't find. Because you need to add manually. MySQL driver is GPL licensed, it is not allowed to include in Apache release.

Solution:

cd apache-skywalking-apm-bin-es7/oap-libs/ 
wget http://central.maven.org/maven2/mysql/mysql-connector-java/5.1.48/mysql-connector-java-5.1.48.jar

Then restart skywalking and this problem fixed !
