Why is it when making my bed that my Fitbit is totaling up steps? I had it pulled up on my phone and watched it while making my bed! I am new to this, please someone tell me if I am doing something wrong..

I'm afraid that's a common issue with all wrist-worn trackers (not just fitbits). They work by detecting movement of the arm and working out if the movement was the result of a step or just random arm movement. Sometimes they get it wrong.
There's more on this - and what you can do to minimise it - in this article:
