Be aware that playing songs off of YouTube through eg. a bot is against YouTube's terms of service. In any case, YouTube has an official API you can use to fetch video metadata like thumbnails, titles, descriptions, etc.

For thumbnails you just take the video ID and slap it in either of these links https://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/maxresdefault.jpg https://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/hqdefault.jpg https://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/mqdefault.jpg Bear in mind, sometimes the highest quality is not available so a placeholder is put that looks like this:

Here's a regex to get the video id from a link 
^((?:https?:)?\/\/)?((?:www|m)\.)?((?:youtube(-nocookie)?\.com|youtu.be))(\/(?:[\w\-]+\?v=|shorts\/|embed\/|v\/)?)([\w\-]+)(\S+)?$
^((?:https?:)?\/\/)?((?:www|m)\.)?((?:youtube(-nocookie)?\.com|youtu.be))(\/(?:[\w\-]+\?v=|shorts\/|embed\/|v\/)?)([\w\-]+)(\S+)?$
