Possible layoff with H1B change of status receipt

Hi, I am currently employed by my company on OPT. I got selected in the H1B lottery and they applied for my Change of Status. I got the H1B Receipt Notice in June which confirmed that my H1B Change of Status application was accepted for processing. As I understand, if accepted my status will change to H1B in October.

Here is the problem. My company has been laying off people recently and I faer I might be lid off before October. If I do get laid off, what would that mean for my legal status? Does that mean I'm still on OPT and can apply for STEM OPT extension to work for another company (I'm eligible for it) or do I have to find an employer that would be willing to sponsor me for H1B? Also, if I want to work for another company before October and go back to OPT, is that still possible? My current employer is based in Missouri if that matters.

This is my first job since graduation and the thought of being laid off is making me more and more anxious each passing day. I really appreciate any information you can give me because I have not been able to find enough information googling online. Thanks!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
