The download of High Sierra would probably take about an hour, and then the installation process would take about half an hour, so I doubt that High Sierra is installed, but let's check first.

Go to About This Mac and see what OS your Mac is running it will probably still be Mavericks. Next look in your Application folder for Install macOS High Sierra.app if you see it put it in the Trash and then empty the Trash.

If you still want to install Sierra then follow the link here, How to download macOS Sierra - Apple Support
