So I just join WaniKani and I finished the level one radicals and the review, but I can’t figure out what to do now. I have no notifications saying another review is coming, nothing is unlocked, I can’t take another test for what I already know, so what do I do?

For now, all you can do is wait for your reviews to come back around. You have to get radicals, and later kanji, to “Guru” before you unlock new lessons.  
The start is a little slow, but before long you’ll have plenty to do. If you want to be productive anyways, work on some other Japanese thingies! Hiragana, Katakana, Grammar and what not.

Don’t worry. It won’t be long before you have _much_ more to do. You just have to be patient through level 1.

Well, I already did Katakana and Hiragana, so I’ll work on the grammar now, thanks!

I recommend reading this guide. It’s got a lot of useful advice.

You can see you “Review Forecast”, which tells you when next reviews will be available.

You don’t have to do them in the middle of the night, they will not go away, but tackling them in the morning, at lunch and before bed is one example of good routine.
