It means the widget has no layout yet: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/designer-layouts.html

I figured out that if I go to the top at "Forms" that I can give it a layout, I think, and that fixed the barrier icon.

So all the terms are different. I saw a bunch of Google Results about "Lay out", but I could never really find it.

There are actually three (maybe even more) ways to set a layout.
- the layout buttons in menubar
- via object list/tree (what you show in your screenshot)
- by right-clicking on the form design itself
