This is the message in my terminal - The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.
What should I do to run commands in my terminal?

If you hardly use Terminal you really do not have to do anything. Forget about it.
If you want to move to the new default shell as you message indicates then simply copy and paste:
chsh -s /bin/zsh
use the enter\return key to execute the command
To see you current shell:
echo $SHELL
To see all your options:
cat /etc/shells
