I've been going crazy trying to find out where to get the socket that fits 2 of my spark plugs. I've seen/ read somewhere that there at 2 that require a special socket. The regular one is to big. Where do I get this and what is it called ?

If you go to a regular auto supply store like NAPA , Advance, etc., ask to see their "Spark plug sockets" and you can decide just which one you want.
There is a long one that has a knurled finish on the top that helps make removal and installation easier.

I've been told there are like 2 plugs that are smaller or something like that

Not so !
They are all the same !
If you are new to this or unsure, you might get some idea of just what is involved if you check a few videos on u tube.
Changing spark plugs is not usually too difficult if you have the right tools and ,,,,,,,,,,
Get the correct replacement plugs
Make sure the gap is correct for your particular vehicle engine
Blow out any grit before removing the plugs
Always start the replacement plugs by hand ,they should turn easily on starting to install
Hold the socket perfectly straight when tightening to the correct torque (approx 17 ft lbs otherwise there is a chance of cracking a new plug. Plug is now destroyed.
Apply dielectric grease to the terminal and boot that goes on to the plug
