When you moved troops to the planet, you most likely created a colony of your own empire's on the same world, rather than invading the enemy population. You need to find that colony on the F2 'Population & Production' screen and set your ground troops to attack the neighbouring colony.
Once you've don that, you should get a notification of ground combat every production cycle (even if it ends up being zero casualties due to the small troop sizes).
