You don't have to do anything. You don't have to keep electrum or even your computer running.

Just wait for the transaction to be confirmed by the miners. Usually the waiting time depends upon your transaction fee how much you paid the miners to confirm your transaction that you have made to another person or wallet, because of the level of priority. Just sit back and wait and just explore this forum to learned more about cryptocurrency.

Sweeping a wallet essentially means spending all the coins from your former wallet into your Electrum wallet, so that involves a transaction. If you did it right, you should have seen a tx id. If you don't know where this is, just look up your Electrum address (the one you swept to) on a block explorer. The incoming spend should show up.

As jinkster said, you'll just need to wait for the transaction to confirm. When that happens, the next time you open and sync Electrum, your former wallet's balance (minus fees) should show up.
