I wanted to make me food. So i turned the oven on to preheat. I came back to my home, on the other side of the house to do homeowrk. I forgot about the oven being on. And than about 30 minutes later I remembered because my stomach was still growling. So I put the food in the oven. What could happen? I'm not sure if anything. But I just want to be sure. It was on for 30 minutes before I put the food in and my food will take 23 minutes.

wait for 23 minutes for your food to cook and then turn off the oven.

As long as the oven is in proper working condition, nothing should happen. The oven's thermostat will shut off the heating element when selected temperature is reached, and then maintain that temp. Other than wasting energy, there should be no other harm done.

It is fine. All you did was leave the oven on to the desired temperature. Now if you had already put the food in, it would have been ruined, but since you hadn't you will be fine.

There is nothing wrong with preheating the oven.
