There are several ways to do this.  One general workflow would be to add the coordinate of interest into GIS as a Point Feature in a Point Feature Class using the "Add X, y coordinate data a layer workflow (see link).  Then add the other points into a second Point Feature Class.  Run a Buffer of 200 meters of the original point of interest.  Clip the point feature class with the other points based on the 200 meter buffer to determine what points are within the radius.

Adding x,y coordinate data as a layer—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop 

Buffer—Help | ArcGIS Desktop 

Clip features using another feature—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

After you have created your location as Chris indicates, you can do a Select Layer by Location with the 'search distance' option
