"Go past" is correct, if you're referring to the phrase that means "walk by." Ex. "Turn left, and then go past the playground." There are dialects where the "t" in "past" may be inaudible, so it sounds like "go pass," but the word is still actually "past."
You could say "go pass" in other contexts, if you want someone to go and pass something. Ex. "Go pass your brother the mashed potatoes."

@Sakura76 Yes, passing something to someone is the same as handing it to them. When talking about dishes of food in particular, we're more likely to say "pass" than "hand."
