KHorn,
The Quick Control screen is what appears on your LCD screen when you press the Q, or Quick Control button located on the back of your camera, just to the right of your LCD screen.
Different Quick Control screens will appear based on the Mode you are in.

See the yellow box with the single auto focus point! I can not get it to move to the right or to the left. I was thinking about doing the expanded onto the immediate right but will not move. The smaller cells below will move in all directions. Is there a setting that is the issue or is the camera broken? Could I work with this single auto focus doing family portraits tomorrow night???

When you have the screen shown below on the back of your camera you can do two things.
1. You can change the AF point selection between each of the different options by pressing the small M-Fn button next to the shutter button, or pull and release the Af area select lever that is around the joystick. Each press will advance to the next arrange of points in the sequence.
2. You can change the position of the AF point. This is possible to do with the small joystick (multi-controller) on the back of the camera near the top right corner of the LCD, or you can use the main control dial by the shutter button to move the points left and right, or turn the quick control dial on the back of the camera to move the AF point up and down.
From the screen above I pressed the M-Fn button and the display changes to this one.
To move the position of the AF point or group of points use the joystick or the main and quick control dials while the screen is shown.
In the screens below you can see that I have moved the AF point down to the bottom row by turning the quick control dial on the rear of the camera, and then moved it to the right using the main dial next to the shutter.
If you wish to have easier access to these settings to change the AF area and move the AF point you may make use of the custom controls part of the menu to reconfigure the operation of the AF select lever and joystick. Below are the screen captures to do this. First the AF select lever and then the joystick
With these two options set, you can use your thumb to nudge the joystick while looking through the viewfinder to change the position of the AF point. Pressing the joystick in to the camera body returns the AF point to the centre. You pull the AF area select lever to change AF area. You will see the changes in the viewfinder so don't need to take your eye away.
