Post an image of the damage. No offense, but a picture can sometimes speak a thousand words.
You’ll get better advice.

If it is a real wood floor, you can either sand that area with a fine grade paper, 150- until the stain is sanded out, then retouch the spot with a poly urethane. If it is a manufactured floor, you can find the matching product and possibly get a sample piece, check ‘Craigslist’ to see if you can find pieces of the wood product. You will need to take a box knife and cut that piece out along the seams until it is free. Once it’s out, clean the ‘tongue’ part of the removed piece out of the ‘groove’ piece on the floor. You can dig it out with a screwdriver. Cut the ‘tongue’ part off the new piece of wood. Use a wood glue or PL200
glue the new piece (cut to fit) into the hole. Let it dry for at least 24 hours before walking on it or moving furniture on it.

Try washing it with some water and bleach and a microfiber cloth. If you can get the black out try buying a small can of stain and sealer close to the color. Get some stain samples from home depot or lowes to match it up.
If you find the stain make sure you mix it and apply it with a piece of old t-shirt. and blend to the edges. It might need a second coat.
Good luck!
