For an assignment I’m trying to find a word that describes a particular feeling. I’m not sure what word describes the feeling of not knowing WHAT is going to happen but still expecting something to happen at the same time.

The specific sense of something bad about to happen is called forboding.

For example,
"He woke that morning with a sense of forboding that lingered until he received the phone call about his friend's sudden death."
