Daniel Welcome to LilyPond!
What you describe is quite correct behaviour. LilyPond is unlike many applications and does not have pull-down menus. Instead you must prepare and save a text file written in LilyPond input format, and then drop this on the LilyPond icon to convert this to a printed music file. The essential first step is to locate the manual which was installed with it and read the tutorial there. This describes how to write input files. If you can't find the manual, look at the LilyPond documentation on the website where you found the download.
