Somehow, I managed to create a file named -u. I cannot figure out how to
look at it as any command I give thinks -u is an option, not the filename.
I cannot read, edit, move, delete, or anything.

Most GNU utilities will stop interpreting options when they encounter
a bare ' -- ' string. So this should work
mv -- -u newfilename
Or, just use the . directory in the filename:
less ./-u
