The 12 v side ampere rating is unnecessary information (You need 5 watts output power, so if the input is 12 volts, you need around 1/2A input current). Use a DC to DC converter. I found an IC made for this purpose at Radio Shack several years ago - I assume they are still available if you are a hobbyist. Otherwise you can buy premade ones (search for 12v to 5v converter).

12 volts 5 watts 18 ohms?

No Let's look at the current. The current can be calculated in two easy ways using these known data: Volts/Ohms and Watts/Volts Now 12/18 isn't the same as 5/12, so there's something wrong here.
