I think my fuel tank flap fell into my gas tank when filling the tank up.
Is it dangerous to drive without the flap being there? My tank overflowed all over the ground when I filled it and now I'm afraid to drive.
I need some advice.

This can be debatable.

It`s not really dangerous, the fuel cap will still seal the system so it will not leak. However, filling up may be a problem like you said, and the flap might block the fuel pump from picking up fuel.
