Pfaff Machines are difficult to work on so I would only recommend you to take it to your repairman.
For the basics though you can remove the bobbin case assembly and see if you can see where the needle may have dropped and gotten caught on the bobbin case assembly. Replace the bobbin case assembly after you have tried to remove the piece. If you can pick up your machine and shake it slightly and hear the part moving around then you can feel sure it is on the bottom of the box that holds the machine. As long as it is in this location it won't pose a hazard for your machine. If you still feel there is a hazard then go to your local repairman.
SOURCE: Needle will not pick up thread from bobbin
Was the old needle picking up the bobbin thread ok? If it was, then there's nothing wrong with the machine. Check that the needle is inserted correctly--there's a flat side on the shank of the needle and where that goes varies widely by machine. Then check that it's threaded properly.
(I once had my needle in backwards and threaded wrong--took the machine to the shop cause I was sure my baby was broken. Cost me $85.00 to find out that on that particular machine the flat side of the needle faces left!)
Let me know if this helps!
