iPhone 12 Pro camera issue

Can anybody please explain why when I take a picture of a light source, example moon or street lamp, I get a blueish dot appear. Thank you.

That is lens flare and is completely normal given the fact you were taking photos of bright lights directly. You can minimize and even eliminate flares by recognizing them before you take the photo and then reangling the camera relative to the flares you see. But when you take photos of very bright lights (sun directly during the day and lights at night), you are going to get flares.
