The middle now is indented in the carpet and has turned dark brown to black, it is 5" around, and that spot is now a bit hard. What do I do to fix it.

You will need to cut that out. Pull the carpet back off the tack strips.
Take a piece of cardboard from a desk pad and make a perfect square out of it the size of the needed patch. Then take and mark it carefully on the back side with a Ball Point pen, then use a utility knife, a very sharp new one cutting out a square where the damage has occured the very same size as the marked square..
Then take a piece of repair carpet from "somewhere" the same kind and take that same piece of cardboard square and mark out and cut a patch.
Then get a piece of burlap from Joan's Fabrics and glue in the patch using a good contact cement purchased from a hardware store. If you put the "knap" of the carpet in the same direction, that is carpet and patch, you will not be able to see the repair.
Remember, contact cement take application to both the carpet +patch and the burlap, then let dry and then they stick like heck together on CONTACT.

Either buy new carpet, or cover it up with something. If its wall-to-wall carpet (stuck to the floor) then cut out that portion of carpet then buy some similar carpet, put it in the spot and glue the seams together. You might want to grab a carpenter for this one. Most do free estimates.

Try cutting a piece of carpet hidden from under something, and replacing the burned spot.

I hate to make light of your plight but all I could come up with is a large flower pot.
