Hi and welcome to the forum 
It's just excess mucous produced by the fish to cover a bump on its nose. If the fish is new it probably bumped into something in the tank, or into the glass and has a fat lip.
Check the water for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH.
Do a 75% water change and gravel clean the substrate every day for a week. Then do it once a week.
Make sure any new water is free of chlorine/ chloramine before it's added to the tank.
Add some salt, (see directions below for salt).
-----------------------
SALT
You can add rock salt (often sold as aquarium salt), sea salt or swimming pool salt to the aquarium at the dose rate of 1 heaped tablespoon per 20 litres of water. If there is no improvement after 48 hours you can double that dose rate so there is 2 heaped tablespoons of salt per 20 litres.
If you only have livebearers (guppies, platies, swordtails, mollies), goldfish or rainbowfish in the tank you can double that dose rate, so you would add 2 heaped tablespoons per 20 litres and if there is no improvement after 48 hours, then increase it so there is a total of 4 heaped tablespoons of salt per 20 litres.
Keep the salt level like this for at least 2 weeks but no longer than 4 weeks otherwise kidney damage can occur. Kidney damage is more likely to occur in fish from soft water (tetras, Corydoras, angelfish, gouramis, loaches) that are exposed to high levels of salt for an extended period of time, and is not an issue with livebearers, rainbowfish or other salt tolerant species.
The salt will not affect the beneficial filter bacteria but the higher dose rate (4 heaped tablespoons per 20 litres) will affect some plants and some snails. The lower dose rate (1-2 heaped tablespoons per 20 litres) will not affect fish, plants, shrimp or snails.
After you use salt and the fish have recovered, you do a 10% water change each day for a week using only fresh water that has been dechlorinated. Then do a 20% water change each day for a week. Then you can do bigger water changes after that. This dilutes the salt out of the tank slowly so it doesn't harm the fish.
If you do water changes while using salt, you need to treat the new water with salt before adding it to the tank. This will keep the salt level stable in the tank and minimise stress on the fish.

another answer from r/goldfish and local goldfish group say it is a bone and I touched her upper lip between the nose, kinda hard and bump. Some one say "weird thing" even a pet doctor react to that.Hi and welcome to the forum

one of my fish's bone on his nose disappear from accidentally heated water ( 38 Celsius and still alive!!! ) another one which have bone bump also "fade out" when using formaldehyde. is it dangerous ?
Goldfish don't have a bone on their top lip that sticks out like that. It's just excess mucous and goes away when whatever is stressing the fish is dealt with.
If the fish swam into something it should go in a few days to a week.
If the water quality is bad the fish will keep the excess mucous and it won't go until the conditions improve.
