First, save the file, close and restart Photoshop. If that doesn't correct the problem, with the Paint Bucket chosen, reset the Paint Bucket tool by right-clicking on the Paint Bucket symbol in the top left of the Options Bar and choosing Reset Tool. If the problem remains, post a full screen shot. Be sure the Image, the Layers and Channels panels, and Options bar are clearly displayed.

Thank you for the reply I will try this. Let me just restart the project because I had to delete it. But before I deleted the project I saved and restarted Photoshop and the problem remain. Now I will start again and once I get the problem again I will reset the paint tool and see if it fix it if not ill be back to post those images.

Good. If, after looking at the image you post, the cause of the malfunction is not apparent, it may be time to try resetting Preferences.

I created the project again now after only using the paint tool two times i encounter the same problem. So far resetting the bucket tool is working fine. Let see if this fix fixed it forever. Also why would this happen?

I don't know. But be comforted by the thought that it was probably not your fault, and move on. Good luck!
