I was inside for a couple hours so I don't know when or how it fell. But when I came out it was on its side. It runs fine but when I'm at about 6000rpm the radiator is making a different noise then before. I'm new to this and paranoid somethings wrong.

Any advice appreciated, thanks in advance

Edit: the bike is a klx 300. Liquid cooled so I'm thinking maybe the coolant leaked out?

Can you describe the noise? Rattling, scraping, gurgling?

Rattling I think

In that case my two cents would be radiator mount or fan. Get access to the area and tap around on the mounts to see if one is cracked or bent to hold the fan too close.
