Okay, so I have a mountain bike
My chain is hanging pretty low to the ground (Like 1-2 inches off the ground)
Is it supposed to be that low?
By the way, I can still switch gears fine
 
Did this suddenly happen?

No, it isn't supposed to hang. The chain should remain in a straight path from chainring to rear derailleur with no sag.

Whether it shifts is immaterial. The sagging chain is prone to falling off the chainring. Besides, it's evidence that something's not right. Inspect the rear derailleur for damage. The spring may be shot or even disconnected.
