do i hit the Y button and then type in exactly cl_showfps 1 during the single player game? I can't seem to get it to work.

You enter the command from within the dropdown console. To access the console, press the tilde key (the key immediately to the left of the number one on the top row of your keyboard). A tilde looks like this --> ~

So what in the hell is a tilde? Glad you asked. It's a mark placed over the letter n (as in Spanish señor sir) to denote the sound or over vowels (as in Portuguese irmã sister) to indicate nasality.

Mad props to Merriam-Webster for the definition.
