Sorry don't know if this question has been answered but I need some help

what is the difference between soft, neutral, and sharp?

I doubt anyone here can really answer that as we have absolutely no idea what you are referring to. What program? Or what setting? Video? Audio?

You need to supply a lot more information.

And welcome to our forums.

A "soft" wine has less tannin.
A "sharp" wine is a bit sour.
"Neutral" is an absence of any character. Inoffensive, but boring.

Resizing algorithms:
(less sharp) Soft - Neutral - Sharp (more sharp)
(less sharp) Bilinear - Bicubic - Lanczos (more sharp)

Which you want to use will depend on your source. If the source is very sharp using a sharp resizing filter will lead to over sharpening halos. If the video is noisy a less sharp filter will reduce the noise a little, a sharp filter will increase the noise. Both Bicubic and Lanczos sharpen. Bilinear blurs but is more natural looking.
