Your high school has a file on you/everyone. This isn't automatically sent to schools that you apply to. Detentions that are recorded in your high school file stay there when you leave.
You don't send colleges your high school file. You send colleges a transcript which shows all of your classes/grades. You also fill out an college application where you talk about yourself, school activities (like sports or student government), and public work like volunteering at a hospital. Sometimes you have to write an essay as well.
A resume is different (but somewhat related). You make your resume. A resume is used to when applying for employment. A resume is work and education history. It's you and your history on a sheet of paper for people to make decisions to interview you for jobs. The first step in applying for a job is sending the employer your resume. They will contact you back if they like your resume.
In my opinion, a good resume is critical to success.

Detentions don't show up on your record. HOWEVER your if you ask your school councilor to write a recommendation they will know your record and perhaps that may affect your resume.

Detentions do not affect your high school resume.
But it may affect your required teacher recommendations. That is, if teachers kept sending you to detention, you might have a difficult time finding one who may want to write a recommendation for you.
Good luck!

I'm not sure whether the HS even reports detentions to colleges.
