Is anything not spinning in the Universe?

That's determined by the mass and radius of the object. If the spin is significant, then the equations will need to be altered to account for the effects of time dilation.

so I've started doing a few equations involving time dilation due to gravity and have been told it changes depending on if its spinning or not (like with a black hole), how different is it, and whether there is any time something won't be spinning and it needing the altered calculations

Welcome to PF. :smile:

Can you post some links to the resources you are using to figure out how to "do" your equations? That would help us to answer your question and guide you. Thanks.

It's really a question of whether the spin is significant.
