In extension to this question about Game of Thrones, we know the map of Westeros and Essos which is in flat style.
Do the west of Westeros and the east of Essos connect?
Or is the map not completed yet?

Maps in reality are represented in some sort of flat projection, but that doesn't prove that Earth is flat. It was a common assumption for a long time.

Answer from the show is we don't know.
No answer from the creator of the show and no hints are given in the show itself.
But Martin did answer this:
Question: Is your world round. I mean if Dany traveled far enough east
couldnt she come to the other side of westeros?
Martin: Yes, the world is round. Might be a little larger than ours,
though. I was thinking more like Vance's Big Planet.... but don't hold
me to that - westeros.org
Also in books, there was Elissa Farman (speculated that Arya's arc is inspired by her) who did a similar journey:
Elissa always dreamed of sailing west to discover the strange and unknown lands never known to man before — which, again, was considered a laughable goal. Yet she made for a compelling enough captain to convince two other ships to join her daring journey beyond the edge of the world.
Changing her name to Alys Westhill, she set sail from Oldtown on Sun Chaser, with the Autumn Moon and the Lady Meredith beside her.
Soon after, harsh storms took down the Autumn Moon, possibly with the
help of a kraken. But Sun Chaser and the Lady Meredith indeed managed
to sail farther west than anyone ever had before, discovering three
new islands which Captain Alys named Aegon, Visenya, and Rhaenys.
Though Alys wanted to continue the journey, the Lady Meredith decided
to take the new spices and goods discovered on the islands and turn
back to Oldtown. So Sun Chaser's whereabouts fell off the map, along
with Captain Alys Westhill.
Decades later, though, a famed captain and friend to the Targaryen
family reportedly spotted Sun Chaser in Asshai. And that's huge.
Asshai is on the easternmost edge of the known map. So the most
logical explanation for Sun Chaser winding up there would be if it
actually did made it past the edge of the world to the west,
circumventing the globe to arrive on the other side of Essos. - Mashable
But we never get to know in books what happened to Elissa and if she really made this huge discovery then why she didn't publish it or maybe she was afraid as she did steal 3 eggs (supposedly Daenerys's dragon kids) and might have died before making any revelation, we don't know and might get more information in future books.
