It has almost been a week and my taxes still aren't approved by the IRS. Did I do something wrong ?

If you e-filed and see accepted as your status in TurboTax, then you did nothing wrong. It can range from a few days up to 3 weeks before your status changes from accepted to approved with the IRS. The government now has your return and will process and approve it. Processing times vary depending on their work backlog. Once they approve your refund, they will update website with deposit date. So just keep an eye out on their refund tracking page.

You can use the IRS Where's My Refund site for the latest status on your federal tax refund.

And you can use your State Department of Revenue's website to check status of state tax refund. Choose your state here How do I track my state refund? and it will give you steps to track the status. 

If you claimed Earned Income/Additional Child Tax credit on your return, the government held those returns until mid-February. And refunds from those returns will start releasing in late February. You can find more details on that here Avoid the Rush Track Tax Refund Online at IRS.gov
