It really depends on the spots.  There are many things that can produce white 
spots on fish.  Were the spots small and many?  Or big and few?  Did they 
appear to be on the scales, through the scales or hanging off the scales?
It would also be helpful to know about your tank, it's filtration, and what 
maintainence you do.  As well as how many fish you started with, and how many 
you added that day.
There is very little you can do once you have an epidemic in the tank.  But 
with most of these things, you should be able to treat the tank and save at 
least some of the fish.
