When I Was Riding My Mountain Bike The Tire Just Moved To The Frame. The Entire Rim Moved. What Do I Do?

I can kick it but when I try to pedal it goes back to the frame. The gears are also fine they work.

    lets see if i understood you well,
    there is a lever on the middle of the rim, which conects the rim to the frame, put it on the opening, and close it.
    if i misunderstood you, i recommend you to take your bike to the dealer.

    your rear quick release is loose ( unless it’s bolted, and in that case you rear bolts are loose ), in either case tighten it up

    yep, assuming it’s your rear wheel, I’d check the quick release or bolts first.
    I had an entry level Bianchi road bike that I really had to crank down to keep the wheel in place. Every time I stood to pedal the chain tension would pull the wheel out of alignment. I really had to tighten it to keep the wheel in place.
    Don’t panic, it’s all good.

    see if there are set screws (for the rear wheel) in the frame, if so see if they have vibrated in allowing your wheel to move. This happened to my brother.
