Then a few days later started getting lots of little black floaters that has turned into only a single strange color with winglike movement floating around all the time in that eye....what do you think?

Hello,
Black eye is due to trauma and hematoma, it is self-limiting can apply cold compression. Floaters are due to degenerative condition of retina.
Both are not related for floaters they are to be kept under watch sudden increase in floaters indicate imminent detachment there is treatment for floaters except to keep watch sunscreen lotion to be applied around eye avoid much exposure to sun light moisturizer should be used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
