So I am getting this error when trying to view the tables of a database. I run sp_who and I see 3 spids accessing the database. Once is AWAITING COMMAND though and it says not to kill when it says that according to this article.

You've got a memory problem. Your system either can't handle the load or someone is running something that they shouldn't be.

See which spid is using the most resources. Decide whether or not to kill it. Killing it may not be a good idea if it needs to be rolled back.

I eventually decided to kill one and it made it stop. It looks like it was something the web application initiated.
