I saw a weird dream that in a football, a mole dug a big hole just under the penalty spot and none could kick the penalty, as the ball would fell under the ground. Do football rules say anything about such a weird situation?

Perhaps unsurprisingly, no!
Should this actually happen, the ground staff would most likely remedy the situation with earth, sand and turf, following up by repainting the spot.
In a penalty shootout, and where the ground staff could not fix the hole, I would imagine that the referee would have the penalties taken at the opposite end of the pitch.

It is a nice idea for a quirky film but IRL sense would prevail and the match would be moved.
