Shoulder pain

If for example I do a barbell standing press or seated dumbbell press my right shoulder starts to hurt which makes me stop completely doing the workout. But if I do a upright row there isn’t any pain.
Does anyone recommend on what I should do?

I would stop doing upright rows. That exercise puts too much stress on your rotator cuff. If you have any irritation to it already, it will only exacerbate the issue.

What sort of pain is it and where exactly?

The other person is right, you will need to see a specialist who will first x ray your shoulder. Should that prove to be inconclusive you will need an MRI to determine the integrity of your joints (we have two major joints there, the shoulder joint and the shoulder girdle)...as well as, rule out structural damage to the muscles, ligaments, tendons and cartridge.
