The star will move on to its next stage of evolution, along the Red Giant branch.
Stars produce energy from the fusion of hydrogen into helium during the main sequence stage of their life cycle. This is when a star is stable and balanced, and the fusion of hydrogen into helium in its core generates the energy that makes the star shine.

nucleur fusion
Our sun is currently in the main sequence stage, where it is primarily converting hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion in its core. This stage is characterized by a stable energy output and has been ongoing for about 4.6 billion years.
The process is nuclear fusion of hydrogen. All stars at their main sequence converts hydrogen to helium giving large energy by during hydrogen atoms into helium nucliiFusion of hydrogen.

A protostar generates energy by friction whereas a main sequence star generates energy by fusion.
A protostar generates energy by friction whereas a main sequence star generates energy by fusion.
Nuclear fusion does.

The thing the "main sequence" stars have in common is that they get their energy from the fusion of hydrogen (hydrogen-1 is converted into helium-4).
Nuclear Fusion in a Giant Star involves Helium being fused into a hydrogen shell that surrounds the core, and Nuclear Fusion in a Main-Sequence star involves Hydrogen being fused into Helium to produce Energy inside of the core.
