I had my first double spend error and I'm not sure how it happened. I can't spend any of the remaining funds in my wallet so I was wondering what I should do?

Do I just wait it out or?

This is probably due to malleability attack and not your fault. You have to wait up to 72h for miners to cancel invalid tranasaction.

Malleability attack on blockchain.info will keep increasing day by day.
If they not hurry to fix this problem, then there would be a lot people will "seek" the other online wallet.

You can wait or you contact their CS.

Yeah I've had a lot of problems with blockchain the past couple weeks. Sending two transactions, and one not confirming. Now double spending..

Just wait it out, don't spend any Bitcoin. One transaction will eventually confirm, the other should eventually just disappear. The double spend is due to the transaction malleability attack.

We need more informations. What did you do? Which wallet have you used? Where did you send your coins? We need a tx id as well. Then we will be able to tell you more about what's happening and what are your options.

For example we have managed to help this user earlier today to recover his coins:
