Do I need an abstract?

Only if your instructor asks for one. Many student papers do not require an abstract, and adding one that was not requested is not penalized but is not rewarded either. Where required, it is usually 150 to 250 words on its own page.

This comes up on APA 7 Paper Formatting, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
