My site is down – I believe due to some updates I made to plugins earlier today. Now I cannot access WP admin to deactivate these plugins.
I have attempted to get into my FTP via Filezilla, and I think I successfully connected to my Bluehost hosted site, but I do not see any files named “wp-content” (or wp-anything).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
My main goal is to deactivate my plugins without access to WP admin.

There should be three directories in the root of your WordPress:
wp-admin
wp-content
wp-ibcludes

Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

Your file manager might be easier if your FTP client is working but doesn’t seem to be reaching your site files. Sometimes FTP clients default to the Linux system root or some other directory. That can be confusing.
