Maybe some kind of mechanical damage?

should i repot them into bigger pots?

I have no idea about whether you should repot. If you’re seeing roots coming out from the bottom of the pot, pull the plant out of its pot, and take a look at the root system. If it has plenty of roots, and they are completely wrapped around the edges of the soil in the pot, then perhaps it’s time to repot. If you’re unsure, take a pic, and post it, so other members can give you some solid advice about whether it’s time to repot, or not. (I’m a poet, and didn’t know it…LOL!)  
And in case you’re unsure as to what I meant by mechanical damage, that occurs when the plant has suffered injury from some outside source, such as a blow from something. I’m finding that plant leaves are very fragile, and even though they can feel quite leathery and tough, they are very easily damaged.  
Any more questions, just ask. Best of luck!

thank you so much💕🤍 i’m just not sure how they got them fr bc they haven’t been outside at all

Humidity being too low can look like that. Leaves can unfurl with minor damage. Pets can damage plants. Edema can leave dry spots and holes. But, this looks more like mechanical damage from an outside source. Pests can leaves holes. Check for pests. 🪴🍀
