Goldfish produce waste and it can build up to toxic levels. If you don't change the water, the goldfish can die. I would buy an inexpensive ammonia test kit and see what levels your tank is at.

Goldfish need a well oxygenated tank. A larger surface area, cool water in the low 70s, live aquatic plants, and a filter will all add more oxygen to the water.

She was what appeared to be perfectly fine when we went to bed swimming eating playing with the other one and by morning she was floating at the top. I'm at a loss on this and my little girl is heartbroken. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you I was wondering if anyone knew what may have happened to my daughters goldfish?

Poor water quality can lead to symptoms like this. It could also be a swim bladder issues. It could be either hereditary or a digestive issue.
