You now have a problem. Online is only for 2018. You have to wait and see if your efile gets accepted. If they reject it for something you can change it around to be for 2018.
But if they accept it you need to wait some more for it to fully process and you get the first refund. Then you need to Mail in an Amended 1040X return to change it to be for 2018.

Don’t forget your state. And you will have to print and mail your returns. So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.
Did you efile? Since Online and Efiling are only for 2018, what AGI did you enter to efile? It would have wanted your last year's 2017 AGI which you didn't file. And if you entered your 2016 AGI it will reject. So I'm hoping it rejects, unless you entered zero.
you don't have to wait for 2018 to be processed to prepare and file 2017. as others have stated you need to download the program add state if needed. then you need to paper file. and be sure to follow TT filing instructions for where to mail returns. you can not use the refund from one to pay balance due the other.
when paper filing 2017, use a method where you can track them.
