Did you do any physical work in California or did you do the work for the CA remotely from Oregon? If you did not physically work in California, you do not need to file a California return.
Sorry, but CA considers that if you are self-employed, your income is California-source if you have clients in California even if you never actually work in California (different from most other states).
As to getting the program to work correctly, you may need to contact customer support. Usually, the advice for turbotax is to prepare the non-resident state first and the resident state last. I don't know if that would make a difference. potentially you could clear both states and start over with CA first. but you may need to call support who can do a screen share and find out why the program is stuck.
