Following the [rules as written](https://service.mattel.com//instruction_sheets/DRJ53-Eng.pdf) a Wild Card may only be used in place of any number card, or as any color. So without any rules variations you cannot use a Wild card as a Skip.

There is however a relatively common unofficial variant sometimes referred to as "Truly Wild" that does allow Wilds to be used as Skips.
