I popped my hood today just to take a look at my power steering fluid but rain into this problem instead. What should I do? And how do I fix it. What parts do I need to buy

Looks to me like a broken strut mount, better off doing a mount and strut replacement while your in there. Worst case scenario that strut tower is damaged but I doubt it! Did you hit anything?pothole, sidewalk, etc?

I’ve been gone over a year I just moved back from Hawaii so I’m not really sure what happened. So if I buy the strut assembly from autozone do they come with mounts already? Or do I have to get those separate?

I've never used the complete strut assembly but I do believe it's complete with mounts.

buying the Duralast strut assembly. It’s not necessary to change the rest ones is it?

Replace those in pairs. Different struts and different springs.
And keep the old parts just in case.

When I bought my struts from Rock Auto (not the quick struts) I had to buy the mounts separately. Bificus99s advice to keep the old parts and replace in pairs is solid.
