Got The "CEL" Symbol...........What Is My Problem?
Well, I took the car to autozone and it came back with these codes:
PO441
PO455
PO456
The light actually came on Saturday. I haven't changed the oil in some time, So I gave it an oil change. I disconnected the battery from the car for a few minutes to reset the lights......got in the car this morning and the light came back on
This couldn't have came in a better time seeing how I just got laid off from the job.

Those are all part of the evap system. The first thing any shop will tell you is to check your gas cap. Remove it and put it back on. Make sure it's tight. Drive around for a while.
Beyond that, you seem to have a leak in the evap system. Been there. I still had warranty at the time and it took a couple visits for the dealer to chase it down. There are a number of small evap hoses under your hood. If one of these has a hole in it anywhere, this could be your leak...
So check the gas cap first... give it a little while... then start looking under the hood at your hoses.

Also, I still have my warranty as my car has about 62k miles and I'm covered up until 100k miles. Does that fall under the warranty? So I wouldn't need to pay for anything?

However... this will vary by dealer. My dealer just happens to be cool about that sort of thing. Some are ****** and will fight you to not have to pay your warranty claim. Push back if you have to.
Mine ended up being a small (4"?) 90° piece of tubing that had a puncture. Took forever to find, but that was the problem.
