So I've been getting these random calls on my cell phone, I answered a couple of times no one there, is there a way to report these numbers?
They won't stop calling

If they're commercial/sales calls, there's the Federal Do Not Call list ( https://www.donotcall.gov/ ); 30 days after registration, if you get a commercial call you can report them to the FCC.
These don't sound like sales calls, though. Check with your carrier (IIRC, *2 will usually get you to customer support); you might be able to have them blocked as harassing calls.
Most of the time, though, they're just dumbasses who can't flipping dial a phone number and don't have even a rudimentary understanding of phone etiquette. There's not much you can do about that...unless you can talk Frogman into helping you...

one of them accidentally left a message sound like some guy breathing hard then grunting. These aren't random dialings. I have received four calls from a 493 area code number in the past two days, and four more from an 800 area code. I tried to call a couple of these numbers back and it would automatically disconnect the call.
According to what I found via Google, area code 493 is in France (Cannes or Nice). 800 is the old "toll-free" area code. Personally, I don't answer calls from people I don't know, and I certainly don't call them back. (Given how easy it is to spoof caller ID info, I wouldn't trust the numbers shown, anyway.)
If they're really not random, call your cellular service provider and tell them you're getting harassing calls. At the very least, they should be able to block them.

I had some peeps calling me that I didn't want to have my number. So I had my cell provider change my number.

I finally answered a call, from the 800 area code, they said they were from "Bridge Education" and were asking for Michelle, my girlfriend, I sternly told them this is not Michelle, stop calling me!!!!! Then the call magically ended. It's almost 10:00 am and haven't gotten a call yet
