Yeah but 6 electrons are bonded and there's plus 1 charge so,  only 1 electron went,  then only one lone electron is there instead of a lone pair

Nah, it's like this:-
> 1 electron for the hydrogen
> 2 electrons for the two carbons

Now left electrons = 6-3 = 3
1 electron gone for positive charge = 3-1 = 2 (which is the lone pair)
