If you have chosen the force-quit option suggested by Tesserax, the very next attempt to launch Pages should be to press and hold the shift key while launching Pages. This prevents Pages from loading its last saved execution state.
In Pages v14.3, when exporting to Word, be certain to click the Save button and not the Send a Copy button on that Export panel. If your Pages document is huge, then you can expect the export to take a while indicated by the swirling rainbow. You should be saving to your local drive, because if you are saving to either iCloud or another cloud service, the Internet delays may cause an even longer export process.
There is a dedicated Pages community available for issues about that application.
To stop the "swirling circle" you can either allow for more time to have the conversion complete (recommended), or force-quit the app. This "error" indicates that the app is still busy working.
To force-quit, select the app from the dock, by right-clicking on it. Then choose the Force-quit option.
