Did the file finish saving, and you got back control of Photoshop menus?

 

Might you have accidentally saved to the cloud? They put this big button close to the file type, and many have clicked that thinking they were saving to the location shown. Try an open command and look on cloud.

I would suggest you save it as a PDF/X-4, unless you've been given another spec.

Well, can you try to save it to your desktop or to a folder where you want to find it? After you select “save as” a PDF file and determine what you want to name it and where you want to save it, do you see this dialogue box pop up or not?

Just to go through the saving to PDF routine – File > Save a Copy > (if necessary select [Save] On your computer). In the Format drop-down menu select Photoshop PDF.
