You cannot get rid of the spots/holes, so will have to cut the leaves off. Then look at the plant, is it worth bringing in this year? It is not going to regrow indoors now. Nice news is poinsettias are inexpensive. We have a couple old spindly ones in our back garden in Central America after 4 years are now 10' tall and full of flowers half the year. go figure.

Repot and quarantine. Then bring inside. They will not turn red, or whatever color you had. Google poinsettias - it is a process. I plant mine in the ground and they turn into wonderful shrubs once they are in a happy location.
