Wrong is incorrect or not right.
"2+2=5 is wrong."
Wrongly is something done that is not right or incorrect.
"I wrongly assumed that what I said was grammatically correct, it wasn't."
Wrongfully is about the same as wrongly, but can sound more formal or advanced. It can make you sound like you didn't mean it or like you did, depending on context.
Didn't mean it - "I wrongfully assumed that what I said was grammatically correct, it wasn't."
Meant it - "He wrongfully took the woman's spot on the bus and didn't give it back."
