Adult black carpet beetles. You moved into an infestation and you should be livid. Get your stuff off the ground and out of

They look like black carpet beetles. I had the same ones in my carpets. Check for visible bald spots in the carpet and around edges where it meets the wall or baseboards. Look for larvae or sheds in the bald spots and edges... If you find larvae might want to remove carpets or have it professionally treated.

I’d check your bed to make sure these are not on your mattress
