Sounds like maybe the plasma config got screwed, and now the default panel (the taskbar) is off-screen somewhere. This can happen when you change the monitor layout.
The primary monitor checkbox disappears when there is only one monitor enabled, because with just one, it is ALWAYS the primary monitor.
You should be able to go back to two monitors by switching to the other monitor using the drop-down menu, and checking the "enabled" box there.
Let me get back you with more details about what you can do.
Edit: You should be able to simply right click anywhere to get a context menu. In it, go "add panel>default panel". This will add a new default taskbar to the current screen.
It's likely the panel you had before is still somewhere. To try to find it, right click again, then click "enter edit mode". In the top left you should find "manage desktops and panels" which should get you to a window that lists any disconnected "screens" and the panels that may be stuck in them.
Thank you! I was able to make a new panel and delete the one on "disconnected Screen 2".
