My poop had one bright red spot on it. no blood on toilet paper or anywhere else, just one single red spot that was part of the stool. it wasnt floating on the outside or anything. does this sound like blood or something else?

I could have been a food remnant. If anything in your anorectal area, like a hemorrhoid or fissure, discharged bright red blood, I'd expect more than one red dot on the stool and some red staining on toilet paper.
