What am I supposed to do if my MacBook makes a loud fan noise and gets hot from the bottom even when I’m not doing any task?

Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
To trouble shoot further you can:
—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot as normal and test as caches get rebuilt.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
if no resolve:

What can I do if my MacBook keeps making a loud fan noise when it’s on and is not doing any intensive tasks?
