Wife washed a large comforter in the washing machine. Now every load is out of balance during the spin cycle. I looked under it and I don't see the old concrete block that I use to see on older washing machines. I was thinking that it broke loose. I do see springs holding the tube going it different directions but I don't see any that are broken.

You know you can keep asking this question and get very little response; or you could at least tell us what make and model of washer it is so that someone at least has a starting place for advice.

Well, if you can't get the top off, you won't be able to troubleshoot or fix it. Most top loader tops are held together with spring catches in the front and slide bars in the back so that it can be tilted up for inspection. The screws are to hold the control panel to the top. A putty knife slid into the front should pop the top free, it is a very strong spring catch. Look for something like this:
