what happen to the speaker of the house

According to the search results, the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, was removed from his position through a vote of the full House in the middle of a congressional term. After the speaker is removed, the next member named on a list submitted by the former speaker to the clerk of the House in January will become speaker pro tempore until a new speaker is elected. The names on the list submitted by McCarthy are not public. Once the speaker pro tempore takes over, the House will need to choose a new speaker. The House could choose a new speaker immediately, go into recess, or even adjourn for the day while they try to figure it out. The House cannot function without a speaker, and the next order of business would be to choose a new speaker. The process of electing a new speaker can take multiple rounds of voting until a candidate receives the majority of those present and voting for speaker. The House can continue to function with a temporary speaker, but it will be unable to do much of anything else until a new speaker is elected.
