Welcome to CF.
Check the transmission fluid for correct amount and the color/smell to see if it's burnt.

Sounds like your in limp mode. It's not that your missing second gear, your taking off in second and thats why you don't feel the shift.
Don't keep driving it like that or you will cause more problem. Check for codes and fluid condition
