I went to my car a while ago, and saw that all the water had leaked underneath the car. What do I do? I need to go to work every day, so I cant take the car to the shop until the weekend!

if you try and drive the car without coolant in it you will just blown up the engine. you could have a blown hose, blown head gasket, bad water pump or a leaking/bad radiator. need to fix before driving again or just buy a new car

If your car is leaking that much water, you won't have a choice but to take it to the shop, and you may need to have it towed.
See if there is any water left in the radiator/coolant resevoir, if not, then have it towed to a shop and repaired.
If you try to continue to drive it, and it runs out of coolant, you run the risk of damaging or destroying the engine.

As someone else said, if all the water has leaked out, it is not safe to drive. You could check all the items to see if it is something simple. If it is not something you can fix yourself, have it taken to a shop. You could rent a car or maybe borrow one from a friend until yours is repaired. If you try to use yours as it is now, it will damage it further.

You say it is leaking water. Are you sure it's not coolant? Two very different problems.

eh, you dont want to run pure water as coolant because it will cause corrosion. If its leaking coolant take it to a shop or fix it if you know how.

If it is actually just water, you're good (assuming you didn't put water in your colant system). If it is coolant, take it to a shop. Also, did it rain last time you drove?

Check all your hoses and make sure they are tight. If you have a leak in your radiator go get some stop radiator leak or throw an egg in the radiator and it will seal the leaks for a while.

it could be just water from your AC (normal)
check your oil and coolant levels to make sure you have a problem
