“How do I do” or “what do I do”?

Question

I asked a programming question on this StackOverflow post.

I did some work, and need a step forward, which one is more clear and idiomatic?

1: How do I do next?

2: What do I do next?

Expression 2 is more clear and idiomatic. and "What should I do next?" would be better.

This answer could be vastly improved if you explained how Expression 1 doesn't sound grammatical, and how the OP could phase the question if we wanted to start with how. – J.R.♦ Jun 19 '19 at 10:25
