I don't know what it's called but the chain isn't connected to the flush handle any more so it doesn't pull up the thing inside to make it flush.

just reach in there and reconnect the chain. make sure it's the right length, you may have to adjust it. if it's broken you can buy those in the hardware store. It's called a "lift chain."
"If the lift chain in the tank it too short it may be allowing water to seep through the flapper valve. If there is excess chain you can use pliers to open the links and reposition the chain. If the chain is too short you will need to replace it. Using a paper clip or other other wire to lengthen the chain will cause it to corrode.
If your tank assembly has a lift wire you can loosen the screw attached to the guide arm and move the guide arm up or down to adjust the length."

Okay, the flush handle is attached to the lever, which has holes in it to receive the chain hook. The other end of the chain goes to the attachment point on the flapper. Just replace the missing part. It's cheap. Probably under $8 regardless.
