I have nodules on my thyroid that is not working do i have to remove it or no please advise?

Depends: Depends on how big the nodules are and whether or not they are causing any compressive symptoms now. If they are small and not causing swallowing or breathing problems, you could just follow them in time with ultrasound. If the subsequent ultrasounds show growing modules, you might consider biopsy then.
