Hi. I'm hoping this is a relatively easy question. Is there a way to change the column width within a spreadsheet for different rows within the sheet? If so, how?

No, that is not possible. All cells within a column have the same width, and all cells within a row have the same height.
You can simulate different widths to some extent by merging cells, but I would avoid that unless you absolutely need to.

I'll first agree strongly with the response you got from @Hans Vogelaar , specifically his warning against simulating different widths by merging cells. Doing that interferes with a lot of Excel functions for manipulating data,
Could I also back up and ask why you were seeking to do that in the first place? What is the nature of the information in your spreadsheet? Might you be better served by a table in Word?
