IRS still has not completed my return, should I pay the amount I owe anyway?

I filed on 2/25 and owe money, my online account shows they have not completed , should I pay by April 15th or wait for completion?

Yes.  Pay by 4/18 or you may owe a penalty for late payment.

If your return has been accepted by the IRS, you should have received confirmation of acknowledgement.  Pay your tax due no later than April 18th, 2023.  You can pay online using the link below if you choose.  You can also pay by mail with a 1040-V form (this would be part of your tax return package).
