Hi Manpreet Kaur,
If you take a look at the following Kwiziq lesson you will see that the verb 'se passer' is to happen but it applies to events-
Passer, se passer, se passer de (different meanings of 'passer')
Here,
Where did Lola go? = Où est passée Lola ?
If you wanted to say -
What happened to Lola?
you would use the verb 'arriver à quelqu'un' :
Qu'est-il arrivé à Lola ?
Bonne Continuation!

Isn't the sentence "But where has Lola gone?" and not "What happened to Lola?"
Where has Lola gone? -- Où est passée Lola.
What happened to Lola? -- Qu'est-ce qui est arrivé à Lola?
