When I’m cleaning my bike, I’ve noticed a slight bubble as shown in the picture. Is this some serious problem or a mechanical mistake that I can avoid?

It’s hard to say. The pictures are potato quality to the extent that it’s hard to tell what kind of bike that is, much less what that pitted / dented area is.
If you want better pictures try taking the bike out in full or indirect sunlight. Maybe see if you or one of your friends has an iPhone 14 or above with the macro feature.
Without knowing what bike it is we can’t even guess what the frame might be made out of.
If it’s a steel or aluminum frame it’s probably just a ding, small dent or paint defect. It could even be an artifact left over from clear edge of the design decal.
If it’s a carbon fiber frame then I dunno. It *could* be something. A small delaminated area from an impact or from leaning the bike against something.
If it is a carbon fiber frame it’s probably worth bringing it by the local bike shop. They may be able to mix up some clear 2 part penetrating epoxy and seal it up for you.
It’s hard to say from the pictures.
