If your Mac has become unresponsive, you can force it so shut down by pressing and holding the power button for ~10 seconds until it turns off. After that you should be able to restart the computer normally.


If you are having trouble with creating another user account, try creating a new account while booted in safe mode. How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support 


Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to clear caches, do disk repair and other self-maintenance and housekeeping and temporarily disables third-party mods.


Can you create the new user account while in Safe mode?


You can exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally, then reevaluate the problem.
