Need some help. The first fret on my guitar makes the buzzing noise when the strings are pressed. 2nd fret plays normal along with the rest of the frets. What could possibly be the cause and how would I fix it.

It's not a big deal,you can take it by a shop,and they will fix it for you in a few minutes,and it won't cost you much,that's my recommendation for this first time.Let hm set your harmonics too.
The tech will probably let you watch what he does.
Or you can try it yourself,by(very) slightly loosening the truss rod.
You should be able to find a youtube video for exactly what you need.
It's really easy. Just don't overdo it. a little bit is all you need. I usually only loosen D and G strings,to get a little room to work,and can keep checking that way.
I don't know how your truss rod is done,but there will be an Allen adjustment at the top,just above the nut,it may have a plastic cover over it,OR an exposed adjuster at the bottom of the fret board,with holes for a small screwdriver or similar tool. Use a Good brand of Allen wrench,and make sure you insert it all the way into the nut.
here are some videos
