In German "übernachten" can mean to stay somewhere over night, hence why there is "über" in front. When someone uses übernachten it lets the other know that they were staying over at another place for the night or a rest maybe.

"Bleiben" means to stay in a spot for some time or just to remain somewhere for the time being. It's very much like übernachten but it's only used in a different way.

Example:

Ich hab bei der Oma übernachtet - I stayed at my Grandma's.

Ich will zuhause bleiben aber ich muss zur Schule gehen - I want to stay home, but I have school.
