The Earth is not dependent on the Moon in any vital sense, meaning if there was no Moon, Earth would likely continue to exist and orbit the Sun. However, there would be some changes. The most visible difference would be a lack of tidal cycles, since the rise and fall of tides is primarily influenced by the Moon. This in itself can have other effects on Earth or its life that are not as easy to measure or extrapolate.

What would happen if the moon orbited earth in one day?

Techincally speaking that would never happen. The moon would have to be VERY close to the Earth. The moon moves away from the earth 1.75 inches away from the earth each year, making the hours of the day longer. If the moon did orbit the earth in one day, this would happen around the time period the moon formed in space.
