In the night, I found a weird looking bug. I found it on the desk, then I put it in my small magnet container. It looked like the size of the ladybug. It looks like a weird yellow and brown color at the back. I saw that it has wings, but it doesn't fly. My dad says "Maybe it's at its old age", I kind of agreed to that.

This is a carpet beetle. Vacuum well, throw out the bag and call an exterminator.
This looks like a carpet beetle. They feast on fibers and paper. If you are seeing holes in things like carpet and upholstery, then you may have an issue, but usually if you have just one or two, it is not a biggie. Take them outside, far away from the house, and you are done.
If you have more than a few, a good vacuuming and steam cleaning your carpets and soft furniture should get rid of them.
If that doesn't work, you may need to call in a pro, but be aware that they use harsh chemicals and you will need to be out of the house for a while after treatment. I have very serious allergies so if they say a few hours, I am gone all day.
Hope it is a one and done issue!
