I received my 2nd stimulus check after I filed my 2020 taxes. What do I do with the check?

Since the "stumulas" money will be included in the 2020 return...  I do not want to cash the check and cause a further mess.

You cannot make changes to a return that is in pending or to a return that has just been accepted.  

We do not know if entering the wrong stimulus amount will delay your refund --- or for how long if it does.   The IRS has not offered any guidance yet on how they will handle returns that have incorrect stimulus amounts entered.  We all just have to wait and see.  You are among many people  who were confused and entered incorrect stimulus amounts, or who filed early and then received a check.

I filed early and then received a check. 

Just not sure what to do with the check... since my stimulus payment is on my return.

Honestly, I'd call the IRS on this one. The website IGMR (I got my refund) has instructions on how to reach reach human at the IRS. Dont just Google IRS number and call. Google "IGMR How to Reach Human at IRS." Tell them your situation and ask what you should do.
