This report means Testis has not places properly and placed higher up than normal position. This can be present in some children and can get replaced without doing anything till age of 10-15 months. Good you have done sonography. We can wait for few more months but after that if it remains same we will have to operate it. Its the only gold standard treatment of choice.
Next Steps
Wait till 10-12months of age
Health Tips
Visit General surgeon or Pediatric surgeon after 2-3 months for further plan.

What is the age of the child? If it is an infant less then 6 months, better to wait, chances are that it may descend eventually.. If more than 1-1/2 year, most likely he will require surgery.
