Where is the inside of my wall?

So I bought my house a year and a half ago and had an inspection and a termite inspection and everything was fine structurally no evidence of live infestation everything looked great. When I had my bathroom redone and they took the old shower out you could see that there had been termites but it was obviously all long gone, the damage was minimal and there was absolutely no sign of active infestation. When I've been up into the attic everything looks fine up there. I was just out front doing some gardening and noticed one of the old siding tiles had fallen down and I was trying to stuff it back up in there and my hand went on top of the slab and there was just a big chunk of dry rotted wood that came out where there was supposed to be the Sill plate. I can stick my hand up in there and there's about a foot or so of space where it feels like there's nothing there for a sill plate just chunks of dry rotted wood and sawdust. On the other side of the wall on the inside there's a crack in the sheetrock that I noticed a long time ago, it hasn't changed or moved . But now I'm wondering if whatever is going on is starting to cause some major damage . The crack goes from the bottom of the wall up to the window still and is outlined in red in the pic. There are some scratches on the sheetrock from my big dumb dog ignore those the red line is the only crack . I'm guessing I'm going to be ripping out sheet rock to see what is going on? How did the inspector miss this????
