It sounds like you're in Recovery mode which is where you need to be.

If you've erased your Mac with Disk Utility and named the internal HDD, then quit Disk Utility.

Make sure your Mac is connected to the internet preferable by ethernet cable to your router or by wi-fi. (You can click the wi-fi icon in the menu bar upper right on your screen.)

Then click Reinstall macOS from the on screen menu and follow the prompts to complete the reinstallation.
