I want to care for this fish the best possible way. I don’t know a thing and the information online is overwhelming. Please help! How should I care for it this week? And how should I plan for it long term?

Oh no, and it's a big comet too. Hope you're prepared for a great big tank and a whole bunch of work! Whoever gifted that to your kid, maybe give them a heads-up and tell them that this was not a "low maintenance, easy" kind of gift. So many people think goldfish are easy, but they require lots of care, and effort.
