Why is Kilauea erupting on the big island of Hawaii and not on Lanai or Oahu?
Because that's where it IS. It's very difficult to move a volcano to another island.
What would happen if an underwater volcano kept erupting?

What would happen if an underwater volcano kept erupting again and again?
The underwater volcano would eventually emerge from the sea and become an island. For example, each of the islands in the Hawaiian Islands chain were formed from vocanoes, and the Big Island of Hawai'i is STILL erupting. Iceland was created the same way. Many South Pacific islands were originally undersea volcanoes which erupted, formed an island, and the island became ringed with coral reefs.
