Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My new MacBook is not locating the source of my old MacBook in the transition stage and I was wondering what I can do or what is wrong because it has been on the same [loading] page for about an hour and it hasn’t found the source still.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.12

You do not say how you are trying to connect the two machines....
Try a cable connection for best results, try a different cable if you are having an issue.
Alternative move your user data from a different source: Time Machine backup or Boot clone.
The most trouble free way to move to a new machine, is using the Setup Assistant on the initial boot of a brand new machine— you have one shot here. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205749
If that opportunity has past, the second best way is use the Migration Assistant.
