No, you never needed to spend from an HSA. Once money is legally in the HSA, it can be spent, or not, at any time. The only rule is that if you don't spend it for qualified medical expenses, you pay tax plus a penalty.
If you had an excess contribution (contributed too much, based on your insurance type and other factors) then you must remove the excess contribution before April 18 or pay income tax plus a penalty. A removal of excess is not the same thing as a regular withdrawal and requires different paperwork.
If you told Turbotax you would remove the excess, and you did not, you will need to amend your return to pay the additional tax and penalties. It's too late to remove the excess and avoid the penalty for 2021. But there are different ways to remove the excess from your account in 2022.
But first you need to clarify what is really going on.
