Casette Issue
For the trainers have a special skewers needed. When talking the rear wheel off, the cogs popped out a little bit. The entire casette came out of the hub. I then pushed the casette back in place and it seemed secure. Now the casette seems louder than usual. Could something have gone wrong?Iif so, I need to know if I should bring it over to the shop? How much will this cost?

What do you mean "slid out"? The cassette is held on the freehub body by a lockring. Quick image grab but the cassette slides over the freehub and then you hold the whole thing on with the lockring. If it cassette came off then the lockring is clearly missing or very loose.
Or do you mean the axel came out of the drops? Maybe you didn't get it in straight.

You can pop the freehub + cap off and pop it back on.
While you could theoretically introduce a mis-alignment by failing to fully seat the parts, closing the QR skewer should finish the job and put things back to normal.
On a more conventional hub I might suspect a drive-side nut that's not tightened all the way. That would allow cassette movement and make things nosier. Hub misalignment in the drop-outs is also possible.

Actually some rear hubs (notably Powertaps since the introduction of the 15mm axle) have a drive side axle cap and freehub which can be removed without tools which is nice if you want to switch between Shimano/Campagnolo configurations for different bikes.
You can pop the freehub + cap off and pop it back on.

If so, I can swap them?

I am guessing your freehub body slid off of the pawls. Why it is making more noise now is anyones guess. I would recommend you take it to a shop just to make sure everything is ok.

All those sprockets slid right out of the wheel. Still in one piece, just not in the wheel. Then I managed to click them back in. Then just put the new wheel on. Definitely shouldn't ride it like that right.

Right. If all the sprockets came off as one unit then it was the freehub body that slid off. Typically something should have been holding it to the wheel assembly. It wont take a shop but a minute to take a look at it.

- Remove the freehub with a sharp tug. An internal O-ring is used to maintain friction with the
axle.
-Remove all old grease from the freehub ratchet ring.
-Make sure the black steel spacer remains on the axle.
-Clean the end cap and lightly grease the seal contact area.
-Apply 2 grams of approved grease.
-Grease the V seal and place it on the freehub. Note the open “cup” of the seal faces out.
-Install the new freehub over the shaft and re-use the end cap.
-The end cap will snap into the correct position. No tensioning adjustment is required.
-Shimano and Capagnolo freehubs can be interchanged with no changes to spacers or other
components.

Visually the 12mm drive side axle end cap has a slot for a 17mm cone wrench where it meets the serrated steel washer for drop-out grip and the 15mm does not.

Although some freehubs separate without tools, you'd still have an axle running all the way through the hub + freehub without a split that could flex in the middle.

Could be that the machine screw holding the freehub body to the axle has come loose or broken

What's a machine screw. Could I have really done such extensive damage removing the rear wheel? I mean, these things sound like the results of catastrophic accidents. Is it possible my freehub body can be easily removed and clicked back into place? It's a bontrager rl 2012 wheel.

You likely overtightened the trainer onto your rear wheel and broke the freehub retention screw
