A single red light or "Red Ring of Death" means that your console is not securely plugged into it's power supply (The gray rectangle box) or an electric outlet.

When the red light on an xbox turns red does it stay red?

If you mean that all the lights turn red, this is an AV cable fault (i.e, buy a new one, or plug it back in), if there are three, then this is a general hardware failure, also known as "the red ring of death", and you should send this back to microsoft ASAP, two means that the xbox is/has overheating/overheated, and the one light is a hardware failure, but an error code will show on screen, contrary to the three red lights, where there is nothing you can do about it, you can quote the code and tell microsoft.

No you are in luck if its 1 light all you have to do is clean out the dust from the xbox then unplug all you have connected to the xbox, then take out harddrive and put everything back together 80% Of the time it fixes it if not you can then turn to support at xbox.com/support you dont have to send it to them its just mother board is acting up and you need to discharge it by unplugging everything and taking out harddrive.
