You need to read the pandoc user guide, which should be installed with pandoc,
or is easily findable with a search.
LyX is not set up to produce bibliographies and references with pandoc. Rather,
there are specific ways that the references and bibliography have to be set up,
which means that you need to find and use the appropriate pandoc options.
I've only just commenced looking at this, so I cannot help with detail, except
to say
1. tex4ht may not be under the most active development, but it continues to
produce good output for me with citations and bibliography.
2. It seems the easiest way to use pandoc for citations and references (until
you work out how to modify the LyX command---under preferences>output--- to get
what you want) is to save as a LaTeX file and run pandoc on the command line.
