Doesn’t that mean the House votes, making Pelosi the President?
Yes, the House votes, but it would be very unlikely for Pelosi to become President, unless -- God forbid -- both the President and the Vice-President die.
The House votes, but in a very different way, as specified by the Twelfth Amendment. Each state delegation gets a single vote, so it's up to the House members from each state to agree on a single vote for President and similarly for Vice President. Whoever gets 26 states wins. Fortunately, there are more Republican-majority House delegations than Democrat.
If the House is unable to choose a President, then the Vice-President becomes the President. (I presume this is the newly elected VP, not the VP before the election.)
If no candidate for VP gets a majority of electors, then the Senate chooses the VP from the top two candidates.

When does the House vote? Because if the election is not clear, not resolved, then then the House election is not resolved.
