After a week from new moon, you'll see a half moon. This is more correctly called the First Quarter phase of the Moon.
We see the full moon {the phase}.
In the new Moon phase.
We see a Half Moon illuminated. The name of this phase is called Last Quarter. First Quarter is 1 week before a Full Moon.

During the new moon phase, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun, making it impossible to see.

A week after the new Moon, when half of the Moon's face is illuminated, it is called the First Quarter phase. During this phase, the Moon appears as a semi-circle, with the right half lit up in the Northern Hemisphere. This occurs as the Moon moves in its orbit and more of its surface becomes visible from Earth.
A week after the new moon, the moon is in its first quarter phase. During this phase, half of the moon's face is illuminated by sunlight, creating a semicircular shape. This occurs because the moon is positioned at a right angle relative to the Earth and the Sun, allowing us to see the illuminated portion from our vantage point.
The waxing phase of the moon when you can see half of the lighted side is called the First Quarter Moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned at a right angle to the Earth and sun, resulting in half of its surface being illuminated. This occurs approximately one week after the New Moon phase, marking the transition from darkness to increasing light.
The new Moon "phase" is when the Moon is (more or less) in front of the Sun. We cannot normally see the Moon in this phase. If the Moon is exactly in front of the Sun, the Moon covers the Sun and we see a solar eclipse.
No. The new moon is when the Moon is close to the Sun in the sky, and we can't see it at all. The "waxing crescent" phase comes after the new moon phase.
