Today is my dogs second day home after being spayed. She keeps going by the doors and staring and not moving and she is also acting very different and distant. Did I do anything wrong? She also have a very upset stomach

You did not do anything wrong, but she may be a little sore. If she has an upset stomach this may be why she keeps going to the door. and staying away, she simply may not feel well. This is common after stress from a vet and the anesthesia. If she is not eating and vomiting, then she needs to be rechecked as that is a sign of something else going on.
