yes, there is port forwarding, of course. I'm forwarding a different port to 22 on my desktop, and want to close 22 on the router so it won't also allow access to 22 on my desktop.
If you have not set up forwarding for port 22 on the router, it is already closed. You do not need to do anything.
If you want to verify this, just try to connect to port 22 from outside your network and see what happens.

Actually, connecting to port 22 works fine, or did until my last hacking session on the router. Which is why I wanted to make it inaccessible.
My current "solution" is to forward 22 on the WAN side of the router to 9 on the LAN side of the router. since 9 on the LAN side has no services attached, the incoming connection fails. which is what I wanted.
