Can someone look at my last game and tell me why the last move by black(d5) was a blunder? The computer says it was and he obviously knew it too cause he resigned immediately but I can’t see it thanks.

I don’t know how to attach a game to the forum or I would

If you take d5, his king is in check because of your queen , so he has to react to that and can't save his attacked bishop on c6.

FYI - if you use the analysis tool with the engine it gives you recommended lines & you’ll see the moves.
Of course, it’s much better to see the moves during the game instead of after, but that’s a different topic.
There are also tutorial videos to show you how to use this site, like posting your games & the analysis tool & such.

If you do the puzzles regularly (daily) your tactical vision will improve and you will spot these opportunities. I do roughly 5 a day.
