After upgrading to Catalina my MacBook Pro is locked up with both a color wheel and a b & w spinning wheel for about 20 minutes. How do I shut it off, or is it still installing?

After upgrading to Catalina my MacBook won't boot up. It's stuck with a large white box over the Catalina start up picture with both color wheel and spinning b & w thing spinning. How do I shut it off, or is it possibly still installing, about 50 min so far?

MacBook Pro 15”, 10.15
