I need to remove my existing pantry but the electrical panel is located inside. I cannot afford to hire an electrician, I just need to know which way this wiring bundle comes form overhead/underneath/or from inside interior walls.

Normally (in mobile homes) it comes from underneath and up each wall were there is outlet or switch. Always turn off power before working on it.
You want to move the electrical panel?
One can’t because every single wire in the whole place must be dealt with and this is definitely not a DIY project.
Hi, Pat!
In my mobile home, wiring comes from both overhead and underneath, all within the walls. If the panel needs to be moved, that is definitely a job for a pro. If the wiring for the pantry just needs to be moved, I would consider a pro for that task, as well. I hope this helps!
Bite the bullet and hire someone that knows what they are doing. This could be a very dangerous project. Call around and get some quotes first. Have you thought the perhaps you could barter with an electrician? I had a friend who did several years worth of chimney sweeping in exchange for some work from a plumber.
