Processing of a work pass application in Singapore can take anywhere between a few days and two months or more. In your case, it's not even two weeks yet.
There is nothing you can do to speed things up, just relax and wait. Patience is a virtue!

The notice period required depends on your employment contract.
Your employer must, by law, withhold all salary payments from the day you submit your resignation until end of the termination period. They must apply for tax clearance with IRAS, pay all tax due from the withheld salary and return the remainder (if any) to you. This process usually takes a month, so you may only get your money after you already left Singapore. You will probably have to pay 15% flat tax, because you worked only such a short time that (lower) residential rates do not apply.
Also, because you resigned so quickly, MoM will classify you as job-hopper and you may have problems getting another EP in future.
