I heard somewhere that they turn it into a D and lower your gpa. Is that true?

You have to report the class and whether you got a P or F on your AMCAS transcript; however, they do not use it in calculating your cumulative or science GPA.

That is not true
Some classes are only offered P/F so that makes no sense.

My entire UG transcript was P/F. AMCAS didn't calculate a GPA for me because they couldn't.
Just enter every class you took into AMCAS *exactly* how it appears on your transcript. You can get an unofficial copy of the transcript from each school to do this. AMCAS is going to verify your entries against the transcript, so it will save you a lot of suffering and hassle if you just follow along and copy your transcript class by class.

at my school we have ther regular scale A/B/C/D/F with +/-. We have some classes that are graded pass/no pass, with these classes you get the credit but it doesnt count toward your gpa.
you can change a normally graded class so that it wont count towards your gpa (you either get a S for satisfactory or a U for un satisfactory) Getting a U means your failed the class and you wont even get credit for it (it still wont count towards your gpa though). Getting a S is usually equivalent to a C or higher.
I think amcas does something along these lines?
