I swept my bitcoins into Electrum, now I am waiting, What do I do next, do I need to receive them or just wait for them to show up?
Thank You

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.
