It should either show a dialog or reboot. A cable connection is preferred compared to wireless...
If you are stuck you can always force quit...
force quit a shutdown by holding the power button/TouchID for ~6-10 sec.
Force Shut down your Mac Log out, sleep, wake, restart or shut down your Mac

reboot as normal and see where this leaves you.

The most trouble free way to move to a new machine, is using the Setup Assistant on the initial boot of a brand new machine— you have one shot here. Set up your MacBook Pro - Apple Support
The second best way is use the Migration Assistant.
