I tested my tank this morning and noticed that the ph is at 9 or above all of my fish are acting a little funny! What should i do?!

How? Do you have any rocks or coral in the tank?

A pH of nine is unnatural. You definitely have something in your tank that is causing this. I know of no municipal water system that can legally have a pH that high. You need to identify the offending hardscape and remove it. First thing is test your tap water. If it's between 6.8 & 8.0 you are OK. To avoid pH shock to your fish, do small 20% WC's once a day until your tank pH matches your tap pH. OS.

Alright, thanks and i think it may be related to the green spot algae on my anubia nana plant.

most likely not, algae is caused by too much light and nutrient imbalances. What fob you have for decoration ?
