I think sound advice has already been given in that so far no action has been taken and I would never say to someone to leave a job without a job to go to.
No-one can predict what your company may do if they start an investigation or go straight to a disciplinary meeting in the unlikely event that they find out what has happened. If you resigned at this point some employer's may just accept and not proceed with the disciplinary matter and others regardless of this will continue with the process, particularly if they believed it to be gross misconduct and they could summarily dismiss you without paying notice.
In regard to references an ex-employer is not legally obliged to provide a reference. If they do then a lot may depend on what the new employer is asking in terms of questions as to what information they provide. Many employers these days are also deferring to provide factual references only, confined to start and end dates, job title and maybe a reason for leaving, regardless of what they have been asked by the new employer.
