@Angie530

Basically, you're stuck and have to wait this out.
This isn't unusual, but specifically from the GoDaddy knowledge base:


A 60-day transfer restriction period applies when you register or transfer a domain name, update the registrant contact's organization, or update the registrant contact's first or last name and an organization is not listed.


You'll find explanatory links there, for the ICANN explanation, as well as GoDaddy's specific registration arrangement(which, technically, you agreed to). You're interested in Section 2, under "Please note the following"

From here:


ICANN, the corporation responsible for regulating all domain
registrations, prohibits anyone from transferring a domain until 60
days after registration or transfer. If you registered or transferred
your domain within the last 60 days, you won't be able to transfer
your domain successfully until this waiting period is over.
