No, there doesn't have to be a direct object or any object at all. Examples:
We ran fast. ('fast' is an adverb modifying the verb 'ran', no object)
I will, she won't. (two subjects, two verbs, no object)
Stop! (the subject 'you' is implied, 'stop' is the verb, no object.)
I was just thinking. ('was thinking' is the verb, 'just' is an adverb modifying the the auxiliary verb 'was', no object)

How do you know if a sentence does not contain a direct object?
A direct object can usually be made into the subject of a corresponding passive sentence. E.g., for part of the question asked, a passive form would be "A direct object is not contained by a sentence" which shows that in the original, "a direct object" is the direct object of "contain". So if a noun phrase immediately following the verb cannot be made the subject of a corresponding passive, that is evidence that the noun phrase is not a direct object. For instance, "a ghost" is not a direct object in "I am now a ghost", since you cannot form a passive construction *"A ghost is now been by me." Likewise, "a fish" is not a direct object in "He became a fish", because *"A fish was become by him" is no good.
