So much to say! But yes, first thing to do immediately, whatever your intentions, is to get yourself a wallet and transfer out the coins from Coinbase.
You do not own any actual Bitcoin until they are in a wallet that only you have complete control over, this means private keys belong to you only, so only you can sign transactions to spend them.
I highly recommend a light yet full feature wallet like Electrum. Just create a standard wallet for now. You should do your own research if you want to move on, especially if your BTC is significant.
