Would it be... watashi gaihyouen?

I thought you would put watashi for 'I' And gaihyou means comment. So i added 'en' to make it negative which i think is wrong. I'm new to Japanese and don't know much. If it's all wrong, can someone please explain how to do it.

(I'm also aware Japanese uses SOV structure)

Thanks

Direct translation is:
[私は]コメントしません。
[watashi wa] komento shimasen

note: [ ] can be omitted in colloquial form

Popular phrase, however, is:
ノーコメント
no- komento
This is a transcription of the English phrase "No comment" into Japanese Katakana.

Also popular and polite one is:
コメントは差し控えさせていただきます。
komento wa sashishikae sasete itadakimasu
I will withhold the comment.

Most politicians say "no comment" when they are tackled by a mob of reporters. This is very common Japanese-English, properly pronounced "No comento"
Gaihyou is a very big word and not relevant to this case. It refers to "the general comment" Ie as regarding the general comments would be - gaihyou ni kan suru
If you have to say it in Japanese how about - iukoto ha gosaimasen.
iu means speak, say: koto makes it a noun: gozaimasen is polite verb meaning not/nothing
I have nothing to say.

i agree with the saying "no komento" to say no comment. to say it in japanese you should say:

nani mo iu koto wa nai!! 何も言うのことはない!

No-komento
ノーコメント (No comment)

Ronpyou shinai no

ろんぴょうしないの (I won't comment, that's it)
