I recently discovered a hole in my crawlspace and I'm unsure what it might be. I'm planning to pour concrete in that area, but should I also fill in this hole with concrete? Here are some pictures for reference: https://imgur.com/a/xGUnMK0, https://ibb.co/YBCBXYYh, https://ibb.co/1GcVGvbR.

That hole seems like someone might have dug it out and then filled it at some point. The exposed rebar suggests that it's related to the foundation. I would be concerned about the stability of your foundation due to the undercutting. It might be wise to consult a professional.
From what I can see, that hole might indicate a problem with your footing. I’m not a professional, but it looks like it could be a faulty footing situation. It’d be best to have a pro check it out before filling it in with concrete.
Yeah, definitely get a second opinion! You don't want to cover something up that might need serious repair.
