What should you do? Stop publishing your son's confessions on the internet, for one, and get a good criminal lawyer.

What should you do?

Number one, stop posting details on the internet where everyone including the police and prosecutors can read what you said he said (what you posted could land him in prison, as that all by itself is a crime, so it was very poor judgment for you to have posted what he said he did do).

Number two, plan to get him (immediately) a very good criminal lawyer.

There is nothing to do right now. Either the Florida police will take a warrant or they will not. Either the Florida police will ask to speak to him before they take a warrant or they will not. When the Florida authorities contact you, you need to retain an attorney in the county where your relatives live, because that is where your son will be arrested and tried if it goes that far.
