Where and why did Beorn go the night that the adventure?

Beorn left his home in the woods the night of the adventure to attend to his business and to protect his territory. As a shape-shifter who can transform into a bear, he needed to ensure the safety of his land and the animals within it. His departure also allowed him to scout for any potential threats, maintaining the balance of nature in his domain while the journey of Bilbo and the dwarves progressed.
