Making a solid rounded cap?

Hello. I am quite new to Onshape, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to create a solid dome shape on the end of this surface so that it is a rounded cap. Could anyone explain how I would go about doing this? 
Thanks.

    It was made with a loft. Would this still work?

    Loft to a point, but much faster to start again with a revolve like @S1mon says. Easier and more accurate.
