The best way to debug this type of issue when new to magento is to "Turn on Template Path Hints"
Log into the admin
Goto -> System ->Configuration, and on the bottom of the list select “Developer”
click on Debug – you will only see “Profiler”. Here is the trick – you have to switch the “Current Configuration Scope:” [in the upper left] to a website instead of default. Select “Main Website”.
Now you will see the selection for Template Path Hints – check yes. This will display the path of the template for each block of the page so you can find stuff! You can also choose to “Add Block Names to Hints” to see the corresponding model class for the block.
Which going to point you to app/design/frontend/[theme]/default/template/catalog/product/*

In addition to the previous answer make sure to disable the cache otherwise you might not see the results right away.
The Product page has many files attached but mainly the most importants, in my opinion, areI
the media.phtml that controls the size of your mage, more views, etc then you have the
the upsell.phtml that call the upsell products and
the view.phtml that combine all these files.
You can find them at
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view
Copy these files and paste them in your theme directory. DO NOT OVERRIDE THEM! and also keep in mind you have: single product, configurable product, etc so you'll have to edit those files as well if you need!
Hope this helps and any feedback from other users is always appreciated.
