You'll just have to see if they can write a reference for you in clearing or apply during a gap year. You can't assume a foundation year at one uni will be acceptable at any other uni in any case - that's not what they're designed for, they're an integrated part of the degree you already applied for and are now on.
If you are a recent school leaver you could have asked your old school to provide a reference again, however you can't do that with 24 hours notice in any case so you really only have the option of requesting that reference (or one from your current course provider) for clearing and/or to apply next year during a gap year.

In my experience it is always better to drag a referee from somewhere.

You can apply without a reference (and there is a UCAS option for this), but only if your chosen institutions provide confirmation before the application is submitted.

Yes, provided there is a staff member there willing to do it - I did this as a mature applicant at age 24.

Just that you can apply without a reference, but this does not help the OP because the condition of doing so is that you first have the express permission of the institutions to which you are applying. Obviously the OP doesn't, and that's the issue!

Contact your old school (ring them now) and ask if they can reattach your reference from last year tomorrow.
Otherwise apply without a reference before the deadline. Applying with no reference (and then sending one through later) is better than applying late if there's a chance any of your choices will close their courses after the deadline.
