How to understand info displayed when playing vs computer

Hi,
Not sure how to phrase my question.  When I'm playing against the computer, I don't understand any of the stuff at the top of the screen eg:

Blunder -2.39  In this case, are the numbers related to the blunder, or not?
Bold white number - is that the number of the move?

I can just about understand the algebraic notation, but at times it suggests a "Best" move that would be impossible to make.

Is there a place where I can find out what all these figures etc mean, please?

Hope this makes sense.  I'm brand new here.  Thanks in advance

The numbers (like "-2.39") refer to the engine evaluation.  You can read about their meaning here: https://support.chess.com/article/656-what-do-the-computer-evaluation-numbers-mean-like-225
