When you right click a web service node and select "Create Web Services Tests", the progress bar is displayed indicating that the IDE is trying to retrieve the WSDL of the web service. If the web service has not been deployed, or if it is deployed but the app server is not running, the progress bar keeps on going without any error or warning being displayed. The IDE should detect these cases and display appropriate error/warning messages.
