To resolve, press and hold the power button on your Mac for up to 10 seconds, until your Mac turns off. Then turn your Mac back on. Your Mac should now start up normally.

An hour is a long enough wait—restart and see were you are.
You can force a restart by holding the power button/touch ID button for ~6-10 secs.
