You really have no idea what source port a client would use, other than something random above 1023

This webserver is on a different than lan? Then yeah destination would be its IP and port 22, which is the default ssh port.

need to allow for ssh to the network or IP your webserver is on.

It's on the LAN. Is the Rules form below look good?

Action: Pass
Interface: LAN
TCP/IP: IP4
Protocol: TCP

Source Type: what should the selection be for Linux?
Address: Linux IP address

Destination Type: what would be for a webserver?
Address: the webserver IP?/22

If client is on lan, and you had messed with the default rules, you would need to allow for ssh to the network or IP your webserver is on. If the webserver is on lan, there are no rules needed because pfsense has nothing to do with traffic between devices on the same network.
