"Went" is simple past. I went home. "Gone" is the past participle and can't stand alone as a verb.

Ok, so if I considered the two sentences like
1) what if one day went wrong?
or
2) what if ond day has gone wrong?

Why did I have a feeling you were going to ask that question??

I think in this particular case the present perfect is more immediate. You can still taste it. With simple past, you may be speaking of a bad day which occurred five years ago.

There are other tenses which use "gone." Consider past perfect. "He was devastated. The day had gone wrong." Perhaps he was devastated
