My gauges and lights flickers on and off and the gauges go back and forth while the car beeps none stop. The car can still start run and drive no problem what so ever. But dashboard is freaking out basically. I cannot even see my odometer anymore. Please help me. I want to be able to drive my car again.

This happens when the instrument cluster goes out due to a bad circuit board or IC. Here is a video of the job being done on another car I will give diagrams for your car below. You can get a rebuilt cluster from Ebay

When you have the cluster out check the connector at the rear of the panel sometimes those can come loose causing the same thing.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
