"Squishy" Bathroom Floor Tile

I'm a new homeowner, and there has been one problem after another, despite having the home inspected by a highly recommended inspector before purchasing (but I digress). Tonight, I walked in my second floor bathroom and noticed the tile floors (in the middle of the bathroom) felt, for lack of a better word, "squishy." When I looked, I could see water coming up between the tiles when I stepped on them. What would cause this issue (as there are no visible leaks in the bathroom) and how would I go about fixing it (preferably without gutting my entire bathroom)? As an aside, the caulking where the shower/tub meets the floor looks like it needs to be replaced (which is on the "to-do list"), but we don't shower in this bathroom, and the tile that is squishy isn't next to this area. Thank you for any help!
