Crank shells

After removing the sump I have no little bits of metal it I do have 2 edges of a crank shell ?

There’s was no crank movement or knocking

Baffled as to why they’ve come off

They are actually the bearings that have been hammered/worn thin within the housing and then fall out and into the sump.
Had the same when I opened up my engine. Most likely spun bearing.

With those bits missing, the crank can move and the end result is spun bearings. The problem is they need replacing but I think that it cannot be done insitu. I would not be using that engine until its fixed.
