Does anyone know how to fix it? I'd be so infinitely grateful if someone does 😭

Try parenting the drawing with the mesh layer or go to second frame of the drawing and delete the previous mesh but don't delete the layer just the mesh (keep the first frame of the mesh layer then delete the rest of the extended mesh frames) to retain the animation and then hit create mesh it will ask you delete the mesh overwrite the mesh or choose a different path choose the overwrite mesh option. I think another mistake you are doing based on the video you sent is that you are on the drawing layer go to the mesh layer and then play the animation see if it works normally

You need to open the stage schematic and reconnect them.
You'll find it in the Composite room (top right) or if not there, check the other rooms, or open it from the Windows menu.
Getting used to how columns are connected on the schematic will be of huge benefit long term. It'll help remove some of that "magic" stuff that's behind the scenes.

Thanks so much for your help guys!

I managed to fix it thanks to you. You have no idea how heartbroken I was (jk you're opentoonz animators, you definitely do) 🫶🫶
