I have a 25 year old home. Every bedroom's power outlets are conected to the lightswitch. How do I make it so only one outlet works of the light switch and the rest are constant?

It may or may not be possible without additional wiring in the walls. To tell, we need you to shut off the breaker, open up all the receptacle boxes and the switch box, and for each one, tell us all the cables and wires in each and how they are connected (including wires not connected to the device). This requires you to gently pull the device out of the box without disconnecting anything so that you can see behind it.
