Hello! Just wondering what is the procedure if a goal was scored directly from a drop ball what will the restart be? Does it count as a corner kick or a goal kick?

Not to be facetious but it depends on which goal.

Kicked directly into the opponent’s goal is a goal kick. Kicked directly into the team’s own goal is a corner.
 
Of course this is on the assumption that the ball hit the ground and was played by one player before going in to that goal.

If the player played it before hitting the ground or if nobody played it and it somehow ended up in the goal, it would be a repeat of the dropped ball.
