Is it normal for the migration assistant to be “starting up” the transferring process from an old Mac to new Mac for 12 hours? Granted, I’m using WiFi since I can’t find my thunderbolt cable. I know I have a lot to transfer over, but the screens have been the same for 12 hours and I’m wondering if maybe I should just go get another cable
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

No.
Try restarting both Macs and re-running Migration Assistant. If that doesn't work, you could connect the two Macs via a cable and put the old Mac in Target Disk Mode (Intel, hold down the T key at startup; hold down the power button or Touch ID to quit and shut down) or in Disk Sharing Mode (Apple silicon).
