Why didn't Harold Godwinson just invade Normandy while William

Because the rest of France was still there to defend it
Normandy was a French duchy, and William was vassal to the French king (which thus guarenteed mutual protection)

He just wouldn't let anyone know he was coming

Saxons confirmed shit at splitpush.

If frenchies could have hold their own ground, why did they give it to the Normans in the first place?

Normandy was given to Rollo after his men got defeated by the Franks in the Siege of Chartes

Normans didn't conquer Normandy, they were offered lands in exchange for vassalage because it benefited the French king (they accepted to defend the entrance of Seine river with their own men, which relieve the French king of constantly having to detach his own men there in an era when scattering your own troops all over a big territory was logistically pain in the ass)
