When publishing, an "index.html" is not being created. It's only creating an
html with my file name. I've never had this happen. An index.html has always
been published along with the other files. I've searched and have not found
anything on this. Really appreciate any help as I am unable to move forward on
this project if I cannot publish properly.

In the File, Publish Settings screen, you can change the name of the
HTML file that it makes. By default it will always be the same name as
the Director movie. But you can change the name to index.html or
whatever you want.

But, in the past it's always created both (the index and the file name html's)
automatically. I'm confused because I have never had to manually name the
index file. All my other published sites have had one generated. I feel like
I am missing something here.

Then either you or someone else changed the default name. As far as I
know it is always set by default to the name of the project unless you
specifically change it.

To clarify: The html file has always been set to the default; that is, the
name of my file shows up in the Publish settings. Additionally, publishing has
always generated two html files, 1) index.html and 2) "project
name.html." My latest project is not generating both, just the project name
html. Which is inconsistent with all of my past experience.

I have always assumed that the generation of both files was the default. Am I
just supposed to get one html file?
Are you saying that an Index.html does not normally get generated in
addition to the project name html?

That is what I am saying. It never creates an index.html file, unless
you specify that you want the html file to have that name. I have never
seen it create more than one html file. I think your index.html may
have been copied from a previous project or something... but it is not
made by Director normally.
