I am trying to install a new pipe from the wall valve to my toilet, but I can't unscrew the old part. It has probably been on there for years.

Get some "liquid wrench", it's cheap and works well.

if it's a metal pipe, try heating one of the pipes. if you heat the right one, it will expand and allow you to unscrew the stuck pipe. but be extremely careful if you do this.

first thing to try is some good penetrating oil (like kroil or, if WD-40 if you can't find a real penetrating oil)
put it on the threads and let is soak for an hour or so
get a good wrench on both sides of the joint you are trying to turn
don't hurt yourself
