Confirmation is a special ceremony that imparts the Holy Spirit in a special way. A priest anoints parts of the baptized persons body with a blessed oil.

The Bible Says
"Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
Acts 2:38

The Holy Spirit is given as a gift, as part of the act of being baptized.

Confirmation is a tradition of the Catholic Church. There is no Biblical reference for this ceremony.
