The toolbars load separately sometimes, and you need to drag them into the upper slot to fix them in the interface. You might have accidentally closed out of that toolbar when you launched SketchUp 2018 the first time, or it's there, just hidden at the base of your screen behind the main window. Try re-installing SketchUp and checking that the OpenStudio toolbars are visible under View -> Toolbars -> OpenStudio Tools. Use Plugins -> OpenStudio -> File => Open OpenStudio Model if that isn't working.
