A plastic spoon is a thermoplastic. If heated further, it becomes pliant and it can be melted or remolded.
Melted plastic is generally non-toxic and usually a pain to remove. It is generally disposed of as trash, as it cannot really be re-used. If it's hot, it is hazardous as it can burn you and tends to stick to skin and materials. In that light, it is dangerous. Melted plastic is the material used in injection molding. That melted plastic is not "bad" as it is being used for a purpose (the manufacture of goods).
It depends on the type of plastic, how hot the oven was when the plastic melted, whether and how the oven was cleaned, and other factors. Some types of plastic do give off toxic fumes when overheated, and those fumes can possibly leave toxic residues in an oven.

It is possible that melting plastic in a dishwasher or other appliance can create toxic fumes. It largely depends on the type of plastic which is being melted. The best bet would be to properly ventilate the area and go into another area of the house until the smell is gone.

A plastic spoon floats because it is less dense than the water it is on.
