I’m transferring data from my old Mac to a new one and it’s stopped before it’s complete. The migration assistant is showing on both screens and it’s showing the same time remaining for several hours. Is there anything I can do to get it going again?

Are you running Migration Assistant on both computers? That is not how it works. You should only run MA on the new computer. How are you connecting the computers? See How to Use Migration Assistant with macOS Catalina.
