My indoor heat/air thingy has a block of ice on it when I look inside. The drain had stopped up. I turned it off for a few days - unclogged drain. Turned air back on for first time in a week... and this morning the floor was all wet and when looking inside there is a big block of ice? I have no idea what to do.
Please help.

It's either not getting enough airflow (dirty filter or coil) or needs a charge.

We cleaned the coils. So it would need a charge even if it is making ice? Thanks for your help

Yes and soon. If it freezes up the compressor WILL get damaged from slugging liquid refrigerant. Make sure all your vents are clean and open, don't use a $20+ overly restrictive air filter. Try a cheap one for a day or 2. Some block/restrict too much air.
