I was typing something in the address bar and somehow I pressed a series or combination of keys so that the cursor of the address bar has shifted from the left side to the right side. All the web addresses now are displayed from right to left instead of vice versa. It's like the equivalent of me hitting "Align Side Right " in Microsoft Word. How do I change it back to "Align Side Left" like it normally is?

You may have touched the Shift key when trying to cut text via Ctrl+X.

You can flip the bidi text direction from right-to-left to left-to-right with Shift+Ctrl+X.
