My space heater doesn't turn on something came off of it and I don't know what the piece is called can someone tell me what this is?

Here is the piece that was clanking around in the heater

That looks to me like the part that does dangle, and for a good reason. There is a safety switch that will turn off the heater when it is tipped over. Some heaters use a weighted lever, like the one you are holding, to accomplish the turning off. S
Since it is now loose and clanging around, or was, it's time to get a new heater. The switch is either broken or worn out, and in any event trying to fix something like that could create a fire hazard. Much more better to get a new heater!

Thank you

Hard to tell from that angle but looks like it could be part of the thermostat. Usually cheaper to buy a new space heater than try to repair it.
