I think I got my period but I don't know because I was going to the bathroom and saw brown but I also had discharge that day and it was in a different spot. Then I went to bed and put a panty liner on and I woke up today and there was nothing there

Okay so what you're describing, with the brown discharge and then nothing, sounds a lot like the very start of a first period, or just some spotting before it fully arrives. It's super normal for your period to start kind of slowly and not like a big gush of blood right away.

Sometimes your body just kind of tests things out, you know? Like it releases a little bit of blood, which turns brownish because it's older and takes a bit longer to leave your body. Then it might stop for a day or two, or even a week, before your period actually starts for real. This is why it's called "spotting" and it's totally normal, especially when your cycles are just getting started.

Just keep an eye on it. Maybe wear a panty liner again today if you're nervous, and try not to stress too much. Your body is just figuring things out! If you want to get an idea of when your period might actually start, there's a quiz on this site that helps predict it: how close is my first period?
