Let X be an m-dimensional equispaced grid on -k,...,k:

In[1]:= X = With[{k = 1, m = 2}, Tuples[Range[-k,k], m]]

Out[1]= {{-1,-1},{-1,0},{-1,1},{0,-1},{0,0},{0,1},{1,-1},{1,0},{1,1}}

Pick a random point x from X:

In[2]:= x = X[[Random[Integer,{1,Length@X}]]]

Out[2]= {0,-1}

Prepend each point's squared distance from x to its coordinates:

In[3]:= Prepend[#, (#-x).(#-x)]& /@ X

Out[3]= {{1,-1,-1},{2,-1,0},{5,-1,1},{0,0,-1},{1,0,0},{4,0,1},
         {1,1,-1},{2,1,0},{5,1,1}}

Sort the points in terms of their distances from x:

In[4]:= Sort[%]

Out[4]= {{0,0,-1},{1,-1,-1},{1,0,0},{1,1,-1},{2,-1,0},{2,1,0},
         {4,0,1},{5,-1,1},{5,1,1}}

Group the points in terms of their distances from x:

In[5]:= Split[%, #1[[1]] == #2[[1]] &]

Out[5]= {{{0,0,-1}},{{1,-1,-1},{1,0,0},{1,1,-1}},{{2,-1,0},{2,1,0}},
         {{4,0,1}},{{5,-1,1},{5,1,1}}}

Extract the squared distances and insert them as headers:

In[6]:= {#[[1,1]], Rest/@#}& /@ %

Out[6]= {{0,{{0,-1}}},
         {1,{{-1,-1},{0,0},{1,-1}}},
         {2,{{-1,0},{1,0}}},{4,{{0,1}}},
         {5,{{-1,1},{1,1}}}}

Here it is all together, given X and x:

In[7]:= {#[[1,1]], Rest/@#}& /@ Split[Sort[Prepend[#, (#-x).(#-x)]&
         /@ X], #1[[1]] == #2[[1]] &]

Out[7]= {{0,{{0,-1}}},
         {1,{{-1,-1},{0,0},{1,-1}}},
         {2,{{-1,0},{1,0}}},{4,{{0,1}}},
         {5,{{-1,1},{1,1}}}}
