What causes upper eyelid to swell and be painful to touch or move eye when looking around and be very red?

What you described suggests a bacterial infection of skin, skin glands and surrounding structures. It would be prudent to see a doctor as it may require antibiotic prescription. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

This may be an ocular emergency. Please see urgent care. The most likely cause is infection, if there was no injury.
