My 2011 hyundai sonata was hit on the right drivers side, no airbags deployed, the hood of the car is intact, but all of the front bumper came off/is dragging. I pressed the brakes put the car in park and turned it off when the accident happened but when i tried to turn it on again it would not turn on

It does not have one. Ford is the only manufacturer that uses one.

    there is a lot of wiring in the front of the vehicle. Is it possible that a harness was damaged in the collision? An engine needs three things to run. Spark, fuel, and compression. Spark is easy enough to check by pulling a coil and using a spark tester while the engine is cranked over. Fuel pressure will require a fuel pressure gauge. and since the engine ran before the collision we can assume the compression is fine. You contradicted where you where hit by saying the right drivers front. The drivers side is the left side, the passenger side is the right side. clearing up the side of the impact and or posting a couple pics of the damage may provide some clues to help get you going.

My 2011 was in an accident on the front driver side cause the vehicle to shut off and it won't start

Yep, your 2011 Mystery Vehicle probably has an inertia shut off switch, which cuts the power to the fuel pump. Most do, Mystery Vehicles are difficult to diagnose. :>)

I got in a accident and air bag deployed in a 2010 Hyundai Elantra and it was still running good and all of a sudden it just shut off, does it have an emergency fuel shut off switch that we can reset for...

I searched using Google.com and the following suggested locations to check are shown below:

https://www.yourmechanic.com/question/where-is-the-fuel-inertia-switch-on-a-2010-hyundai-sonata-by-heather-b

"On some Hyundai models, the switch is to the right of the brake master cylinder. Look for a switch with a red button. Other locations that Hyundai has used for this switch are in the passenger glovebox area and in the trunk. Those locations might be concealed. For more detailed advice on how to locate the fuel cut off switch please see YourMechanic's fuel cut off switch tutorial. If your vehicle has not been in a crash, and it doesn't start, it is unlikely that this switch is at fault. If your vehicle is not starting, the appropriate diagnostic is a no start diagnostic. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you. "

How to turn off the drivers side air bag until I can afford to have it fixed

There is no "shut off" for the drivers air bag. However, you can remove the airbag fuse and this will disable the entire system.

Won't start after airbags deployed? (NOT inertia switch)

Assuming the pump has not died, you should be able to jumper the pump relay.
The lite blue and orange wire should be power from the fuse, and the dark green and yellow wire should go to the inertia switch then to the pump.

I DIDN`T FIND INERTIA SWITCH IN BEETLE

The crash fuel shut-off system is integral with the airbag system. The airbag module turns off power to the primary side of the fuel pump relay in the event of an airbag deployment. There is no resettable "switch".

Car will crank then cut off??????

Look in the trunk in the left quarter panel area near the back of the tail lamp and you will see a small black module with a red or white button on top of it.This is the fuel pump inertia switch designed to trip during impact to shut off the fuel pump. Just push down on the button until u feel it click. Then cycle the ignition switch from off to on a couple of times to prime the pump and you should be set to go.
