If you worked anytime in 2022 you need a W2. Ask your employer for another copy. If you didn't have any income you don't need to file a return. What income did you have? Maybe someone can claim you as a dependent? You can't efile without any taxable income.

Oh, is it wanting you to fill in a W2? It's possible the W2 was carried over from last years return. Regardless, if you do not have a W2 just delete it.

It's easy to remove a W-2.

Open or continue your return.
Search for W-2 using the search in the upper right corner and then click the Jump to link in the search results.
This brings you to the Here's your W-2 info screen. Click the trash can icon next to the unwanted W-2 and then answer Yes on the following screen.

And...if you did not earn any income from working in 2022, then sorry, but you are not eligible for any of the child-related credits like child tax credit or earned income credit for 2022. The tax laws that were so generous for tax year 2021 changed for tax year 2022, and unless you worked in 2022, you cannot get those credits.
