I assume this is a Wattbike specific test? Does it give you a FTP figure based on this test?
To train to power you first need an idea of your zones and FTP gives you a figure that makes it easy to work these out. From there you need to decide what you want your training plan to do. What physiological system you want to work on.

What does it show you under the 'Plans' tab? I'm using TrainerRoad and each plan starts with an FTP test. It looks like WattBike uses 'MMP' as an alternative to FTP. Each session within a plan you start will be based on your FTP - meaning that all the work you do is designed around pushing you without breaking you. You might want to set a simple objective, like get your w/kg to over 4 w/kg, which will put you into 'very good', according to this chart, and then go from there. TrainerRoad seems to categorise its 'speciality plans' based on discipline, i.e. preparing for triathlon, crit, climbing etc etc: https://www.trainerroad.com/cycling/plans/specialty

I just did a submax test and have no idea what any of this means. How do I take this and figure out a good training session? Mrs Sparky just plugged in “sportive training plan” and is following that, but I’d like to understand what my numbers are and how to improve them. So confusing. Why don’t they make the app automated and simple? Like, do a test, tell it what you’d like to improve, and it just does it for you?
