Coordinates have Z values: No
Coordinates have measures: No

Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_WGS_1984
Datum: D_WGS_1984
Prime Meridian: Greenwich
Angular Unit: Degree

(2) -->
Data Type: Shapefile Feature Class
Shapefile: C:\Users\craigugoretz\Desktop\NHD\WBDHU12.shp

    Welcome to GIS SE. As a new user please take the Tour. If you search on the topic "NADCON" especially in tandem with "ArcGIS", you'll likely find a great deal of documentation. You can then edit your question to include relevant details of what you have tried, and whatever difficulty you have encountered.

Load those layers in ArcMap, then click on one of them (right button), click "export data" and save your layer with coordinate system from other layer.

    This may not work correctly without specifying a transformation (which is the same step needed to use the Project utility.

    If they line up fine, you can use this workflow. If the two layers seem offset around a meter, then do as @Vince suggests and set a transformation. Try NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984_5.
