Does the effect of Lyla Lightsworn Sorceress resolve if it is flipped face down?

"Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress" has two effects, but neither one will resolve if this card is flipped face-down. For its first effect that destroys a Spell/Trap card, according to the unofficial TCG ruling on "Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress", if this effect is chained with a card that changes it into defense position (like "Book of Moon") the effect of "Lyla" will disappear. The effect that causes you to send cards off the top of your deck will not resolve if this card is flipped face-down either.

How does the Skill Drain work in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Skill Drain will do the following:If a monster activates an effect, and the monster is face-up on the field when that effect resolves, then that effect will be negated.If, when the effect resolves, the monster is not face-up on the field, then the effect will resolve as normal. This happens to monsters who activate and resolve in different zones, monsters tributed for the activation of their own effect, and monsters destroyed, or flipped face-down before their effects can resolve.A monster's continuous effect will be negated until Skill Drain is removed from the field.

Can fiendish chain negate flip effects?
Flip Effects are Triggered Effects, so if a player flipped a flip effect monster, the effect will trigger as chain link 1. Fiendish Chain can be chained to it, to negate the effect when it tries to resolve. However, if the monster is flipped by an attack, then the trigger happens during the Damage Step. There are restrictions against what you are allowed to activate during the damage step, and Fiendish Chain can't be used here. So it could not stop a Flip Effect at that time.

When the Monarch is tribute summoned, it has a triggered effect that activates. Fiendish Chain can be chained to this. Fiendish Chain will resolve first, meaning the Monarch effect will be negated when it tries to resolve.
When does a monster have to stay on field for its effect to resolve for example 'Zombie Master' needs to remain on the field but 'Chaos Sorcerer' does not is it purely rulings-based?
It is rulings-based. There are only a slim handful of monsters who must remain on the field for their effects to resolve. - Some are more obvious. Dark Crusader's effect cannot resolve if he's no longer on the field, because he'd be unable to get the ATK gain. - Zombie Master has a specific ruling. He must remain face-up on the field. Note that similar monsters like Summoner Monk, The Creator, and Lumina, do not follow the same ruling. Their effects will still resolve, even if they leave the field. - Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress must too. If she is unable to change to defence position on resolution, nothing is destroyed. So if she leaves the field beforehand, then her effect cannot resolve.
If your opponent removes a monster and tries to destroy one of mine with 'Dark Armed Dragon' and I use 'Book of Moon' on 'Dark Armed Dragon' will it negate the effect?
No. Virtually no monster effect can be stopped in that way, once activated, destroying the monster, flipping it face-down or otherwise removing it from play, will still not stop its effect from resolving correctly. Some monsters obviously can't resolve if they leave the field, like Dark Crusader could not gain the ATK bonus. Some do have rulings that say they must remain on the field, like Zombie Master and Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress (if she can't turn into defence mode on resolution, she can't destroy anything). But otherwise, the effect will still resolve, as it will in the case of Dark Armed Dragon.
