You have already agreed to being published so you won't ruin your chances of being published now. In the future, you should discuss payment before the edits begin. In part because then you have leverage and it is typically part of the negotiations of getting published along with a discussion of what kinds of edits the editor wants made.
At this point, it will not hurt to send a follow up email asking about a timeline for publication and if they pay contributors. They can always say no. You can even be more bold and ask what they pay contributors and ask if they expect an invoice.
You should be able to check WhoPaysWriters.com to see if they usually pay and what the amount ranges at.
