After you file
Yikes, you have a problem. You entered the 2023 W2 into the 2024 program. You now have to wait for the IRS to accept or reject your return. Hopefully the will reject it. But if they accept it you need to wait more for them to finish processing it and send you the refund. THEN you need to Amend it to be for 2024.
Did you file a 2023 a year ago? If not you still need to file 2023.
2023 is now a prior year.

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.
