I don't know, but just going off of your profile I would say likely not. But anything is possible.
Can I get to 1800 by next week?

Hi,
I'm currently rated about 900. I'm doing quite well, and have won most of my games. I'm wondering if anyone thinks it is possible that if I play everyday I can get to 1800 blitz by next week maybe??
No, you cannot. Rating doesn't scale linearly, meaning that it'll be tougher to get from 1500 to 1600 than 900 to 1000. If you're really a 900 player, there's absolutely 0% chance you'll reach 1800 by next week. The difference in skill is absolutely enormous. It'll take more than a year of dedicated 40 hour a week chess training with a teacher to get anywhere close to that. Chess is a game where you can improve your entire life. One does not become an expert overnight.

Hi, thanks. I'm planning to improve blitz up to 1800. I thought that a reasonable goal. Maybe i should give it longer. 1200 sound possible?

A week is so little time you might get lucky and gain 100 points, but likely fall back down sooner or later. You have to build a solid foundation to grow from, and it’s never overnight. Additionally, speed chess relies on experience and patterns recognition, which you’ll certainly have less of and takes longer to get, so the chances of gaining even 100 points in a week are low.

So you're planning on improving to 1800 in speed chess without learning how to play classical chess first? That's...not how it's done. Where did you get that idea from?
If you're looking to improve, the last thing you should be worrying about is your blitz rating.
Isn’t rapid still speed chess technically?
While Classical Chess does help one to improve at the game, to suggest that you can't build a solid foundation with Rapid or even 60 minute game format is unreasonable.
It's quite difficult but it's possible.
IDK I'm really bad at blitz but statistically probs not :/
