Not the vitamins: I doubt this is the vitamin. That might be blood in the stool as the color can vary depending on where it is bleeding. Either way sounds like a trip to your doctor is in order.

Stop taking: Multivitamins are worthless and possibly dangerous. Stop taking them and then watch your stools for any changes.
