check if the problem is the fact you have set 9700 baud rate on your sketch while the commonly used 9600 is supported from arduino IDE.

I slightly modified your code and it works for me. Check if this works for you:

#define Pin 3
#define Source 5
unsigned long  pwm_value;

void setup() {
    pinMode(Source,OUTPUT);
    pinMode(Pin, INPUT);
    Serial.begin(9600);
    analogWrite(Source,600);
}

void loop() {
    pwm_value = pulseIn(Pin, HIGH);
    Serial.println(pwm_value);
 
    delay(100);
}

when you connect pin3 with pin 5 you should get a consistent value on Serial(=974).

About getting signal on floating pins

Getting a signal on a floating pin is normal. When you have a cable attached it acts like an antenna. When you touch it, you are the antenna!

when you connect pin3 with pin 5 you should get a consistent value on Serial(=967).
