First of all you can't efile the state unless the federal was first efiled and accepted. So if you efiled federal there is nothing you can do to stop it unless it rejects for something. Just wait and see. If your federal gets accepted then file state or see if it went through too.

if you only wanted to file state without federal you needed to,print and mail state. You can file state before Federal but you have to mail state.

You have to first fill out federal for it to flow to state and pay the fees for both by credit card.

If you had efiled the fed return successfully earlier this year and are now just trying to efile the state the program may push thru the fed again as well which the IRS will simply reject the duplicate filing however this will release the state return. Watch for the email confirmations.
