My Maytag Bravos top load washer upon spin cycle shakes so bad that it shuts itself off in less than ten seconds. It's level, true level, clothes are evenly distributed and not too many?
One or more of the tub suspension rods or dampening straps could be damaged. Does the tub bounce smoothly, if you push it down and then release it? This checks the suspension rods. Other parts related to balancing the tub include the suspension pads, springs or balance rings. (The washer will usually squeal and shake badly, if the tub bearing is failing.)
The washer shuts off to avoid damage additional damage to the washer.
I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the model number of the washer, if you need a parts diagram to show where to look for these parts. The model number may be on the machine in one of these places: on the back behind the control panel, inside the lid on the bottom right corner, or on the back of the washer on the base frame on the left.

No, drain it. Just remove the drain hose from the clip at the rear and low the hose into a pail or cooking tray. Gravity will do the rest. Make sure it is always kept upright unless you have the transport brackets.
Washer fills for seven seconds then stops.
This is most likely an issue with the inlet pump. You can check for a clog or blockage in the pump by opening up the washer and checking the hoses and connections. If everything looks clear, then you may need to replace the pump.
