I have a 12-14" cactus. I have no clue what kind it is, but it's long and skinny.
It seems to grow sideways right out of the soil. Do I need to stand it up or could this be how it's naturally meant to grow?

There are literally thousands of types of cactus and plants that look like but are not cactus. All cactus have specific and different water and nutritional requirements and may display growth problems, like leaning, due to lack of water, bad soil, etc.
You can take the cactus or a picture of it to a garden center for help in identifying the type and providing the correct growing requirements.
Generally when a cactus is leaning the roots are too shallow. Try carefully using a stick next to the leaning side to hold it up.
Be sure it has full sun, proper drainage, and only water when completely dry.
