how do I get out of the footnote once I get my number in?

I am having the same issue. Here is the thing. I am trying to force a page
break in order to insert a new page for Works Cited. If I do this at the end
of my text, before the footnote, the footnote goes on the next page. If I do
this AFTER the footnote, the next page is a continuation of the footnote.
Any ideas?

Make sure the insertion point is in the document body, not in the footnote
text. If a footnote can't fit on a single page, it will be continued on the
next page; obviously, if that page is otherwise blank, that's going to look
very weird, so it might be better to force the paragraph containing the
footnote reference to the next page so that the entire paragraph and the
entire footnote are on the same page.

You can double-click the footnote number to return to the main body of the
document (this works in the opposite direction, too).

If you are in Print Layout view, just double-clicking back in the document
body should do it. If you're in Normal/Draft view, there should be a Close
button in the footnote pane.
