You need to stop using it and turn off the device. The battery is damaged and using it any further you risk seriously injuring yourself.

Basically at this stage the phone is done for, but if you want to continue using it you gotta replace the battery. M8s and M9 batteries fit and work with M8, although they might also be hard to get nowadays. If you still can't find any or you don't want to attempt doing the replacement yourself you can also ask your local phone repair shops if they can fix your device - that would be a safe, but a costly way though.

I fully agree here. Swollen battery is damaged, and this is a dangerous situation.

Also, do NOT try to charge the battery. It may catch fire or explode! If you remember all the stories about Samsung Note (forget which iteration of the Note) batteries burning or exploding, this is a similar situation.

The thread title "Urgent" is no joke.

I've replaced both battery and display in my mind, it is not really difficult. Both are available on eBay and Amazon. There are many videos and instructions on how to do it. If you decide to do it yourself I would suggest watching the videos many times and have the instructions open while working on the phone. Take your time and refer to the instructions.

take time... I have done this 2 times before... when open the body take care about the hardware buttons. I have destroyed them only with an little plektrum.. the htc one M8 is the difficult devices that I have reapired. I will recommend to buy an damaged device for trying the repairprocess.
