Select browse, find the CSV file you saved, and select upload. The screenshot notes you should wait until the import is finished before importing another CSV. The screenshot shows there is a status of "finished" when completed.
Screenshot shows step 3 on the New Site. You want to select "account" and "account settings". You will see a part that reads "Moving from a different account. To move from another account to this one, first you need to create an account alias." The end of that sentence is the URL you want to click on.
The screenshot shows step 4, on the New Site, you will enter your Old username, and then select "create alias". The screenshot notes that after creating a alias you want to wait 10 to 15 minutes for it to sync within the Fediverse before moving to the next step.
