It seems like you are confused by this process and it is quite possible that your return was never filed. If you did not go all the way through the FILE section and click the orange button that says "Transmit Returns Now" then your return was not filed. Or if it was rejected, and not re-submitted, it was never filed. You have not shared what the results were if you checked your e-file status using the link that was provided to you, nor have you said what the IRS site says about your return.
If in fact your return was not filed, then you need to print it, sign it and mail it. It is not possible to e-file it now. Here is a link to what you need to do:

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return.

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
Use this TurboTax website to check the status of an e-filed return and if it was either accepted or rejected - https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
What does the TurboTax and/or the IRS website indicate?
When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first one will say that your return was submitted. The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected. If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.
First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?
Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”
