It looks like the composition panel just got moved down to dock with the timeline.

Try going to the Window menu at the top of After Effects.

Window > Workspace > Default

Then

Window > Workspace > Reset "Default" to Saved Layout

If you like a different workspace other than Default ( I LIke the one called Standard) just swap out that name instead.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
