Hi there,
Are you speaking of the site at https://www.canarycc.com/? I see you bought a Business Plan and domain connection upgrade for that domain.
It looks like that site is built using GoDaddy’s own GoCentral website builder, correct?
If that’s the case, I’m afraid migrating your site won’t be simple. GoDaddy doesn’t offer a WordPress-compatible export for sites created on that service, so to move that site to a new WordPress site you’ll essentially need to recreate everything from scratch.
You’ve already created a site with us, so the first step’s done. Next, go to Appearance ->Themes and select a design for your site.
Then you’ll need to manually copy-paste the content of each of the pages on the GoDaddy site, to new pages on your WordPress.com site. We have a guide explaining the required steps in more detail here:

If you run into any trouble with this, your Business Plan also gives you access to 24/7 live chat support. You can reach those at any time by clicking the Help icon that appears bottom-right on all the My Sites pages, or else via the direct link at https://wordpress.com/help/contact
