Is there an X11 server running, listening on display :0.0? It sounds
like you said you logged in on the console, that sounds like you
aren't running X yet, but are at the text console.
If you want to run vncserver, I suggest using the xvnc@.service
included in the package:
https://git.centos.org/rpms/tigervnc/blob/c8/f/SOURCES/xvnc.service
There are instructions in the comments.
