A one-shot (or oneshot) is defined as a fanfic that has only one chapter. It can be one very long chapter or one very short chapter (sometimes referred to as a "drabble", though other people will tell you that's a misnomernote ), but as long as it's only one chapter then it counts. One-shots can also have sequel fics and still be considered one-shots.
One-shots will also be examples of either Flash Fiction, Novelette, Novella, or Short Story.
Compare to Completed Fic for multi-chapter stories that have finished.
