More pictures would be great, but your chameleon looks female. Can you please also take a picture of your setup? Are you prepared to care for a female?
 
I did do research??? Please tell me what I need to have..
Unfortunately not enough, you need a lot. You need an adequate heat spot, branches, plants, proper humidity, not that kind of substrate, lay bin, linear UVB bulb, etc. What do you feed her?
 
Male and female panthers look completely different, especially color wise. How old is she? I recommend filling out the ask for help form.

I literally got her today, I have a uvb bulb I'm planning on purchasing more branches and wasn't ready for a female? I'm not sure how that's my fault
 
I'm just putting this out there he said that it was a blue and red male and that the colors would come out when he's not stressed. Is this possible as well?

It is possible. Another way to sex a panther chameleon is by looking at the base of the tail when it is sticking out straight. If there appears to be a slight bulge, it’s a male. If it is skinny without a bulge, female. See if you can post a picture of the tail sticking out straight.

This is what we mean by a bulge. So with that in mind, your setup needs a lot of improvement to try looking through the care sheets right here on the forums and if you need any explanations on any particular piece of it just let us know Also filling out the care sheet that Brody posted might be a good idea if you want us to quickly let you know what you should fix right now.
