At "Sign in with your iCloud Apple ID". Entered my Apple ID, the gear is spinning and I can’t get anywhere. Is is downloading from my cloud or what? Appreciate some help.

You may need to force-restart your iPad:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
I have it attached. WiFi no problem, accepted sign-on password perfectly. This is to sign in with my Apple ID password, which I did and it keeps on spinning. How do I shut down the tablet? Tried holding down the "on switch" at the top, no avail.
Ensure that you have a solid WiFi connection. Keeping your iPad connected to its Power Adapter during setup help in keeping the iPad's network connection active.
