Hi, so I've been here in united states for 6 months now. I'm a J1 visa holder and my case is my sponsor terminated my Visa for not finishing my contract at the hotel that I was working before. I have a fiancé here in United States and he's a citizen. We will get married next month but my Visa is already terminated. Can I still get a greencard in this case?

You now need to make a choice.

 

If you need to work you will need to file the I-130 and return home and work from there until your petition is approved and you can go through consular processing

If you dont need to work then you can file to adjust status from within the US. Keep in mind that no work will be allowed until your EAD is approved

You yourself don’t apply. Your husband (once he becomes that) will petition for you. 
 

keep in mind because it seems you were terminated with just cause, you are now out of status and subject to removal. You will need to get married and file to adjust status immediately

My case was I stopped working to the hotel that my sponsor put me in. Because my managers weren't treating me good and I got sick of them. So, I've decided to finish my internship and move to my fiancé's. But the hotel reported me and now my sponsor terminated my program in SEVIS. I'm really worried if I will ever get a green card after me and my Fiancé gets married because my Program or visa is already terminated

You can not intern anymore. You are no longer in status

Because you have been reported by your previous employer, it is very important that you get married and file for adjustment of status as soon as possible.  You are out of legal status in the US and at risk of deportation.  The longer you wait the greater your chances of getting deported.
