You have to activate the "Direction of extrusion" box and then you'll be able to pick the line.

Hello, and welcome to the forum. When you exit out of the sketch, can you not see the sketch line? If not, you probably have sketches set to not show. If that's the case, go to View > Hide/Show. First, make sure that there isn't a shaded box around the icon for "Hide All Types" at the very top. Next, the shaded box should be around the icon at "Sketches."

If that's not the problem please explain more.
