First off, I'm new to this, so bear with me. I'm a regular home PC user, not a developer or IT guru or computer whiz.

Trying to get and use Ubuntu for the first time. Downloaded it. Great. Didn't realize that I HAD to use the DVD writer on my computer, which gave up for some reason about six months ago. I have no USB drive available.

I have a Moto X, unrooted, uncustomized, nothing fancy, as it came in the box from the factory, except for Nova launcher and a keyboard.

My laptop is a Toshiba satellite C655. Cheap Walmart special.

Is there any way I can try to use my phone to install Ubuntu on my laptop, or would it just be best to just go get a flash drive tomorrow?

I'd recommend borrowing a friends Pc to either burn a bootable Ubuntu DVD or Flash drive then booting from either one on your Toshiba laptop to test out and install...

To be able to install Ubuntu on your computer you will need a DVD ROM or a USB Flash Drive. I think it's better to buy a USB Flash Drive. Just to know, a 16gb USB Flash Drive costs about 10$ and it will be useful for many other jobs. It's a must have nowadays... :)
