The characters <, >, &, ” and ‘ (less than, greater than, ampersand, double quote and single quote) are enconded in term names. & becomes &. This is done by passing the term object to sanitize_term() function which applies several filters. By default WordPress applies theses filters: sanitize_text_field(), wp_filter_kses() and _wp_specialchars() (see wp-includes/default-filters.php), this last function encondes <, >, &, ” and ‘.
So, you need to do:
$value = "Website Development & Designing"
get_term_by('name',$value,'skills');
Or, for unknown values:
get_term_by( 'name', esc_attr( $value ), 'skills');
NOTE: use esc_attr(), not _wp_specialchars() directly because _wp_specialchars() is marked as private function and it is not intended for use by plugin or theme developers.
