I'm fairly confused here. 

But I would do this instead:

UserInput1 = input("Enter 1 for the calculator, 2 for the Fibonacci 
sequence, or something else to quit: ")

While quit = 0: 
        if UserInput1 == 1:
                print input("\nPut in an equation: ")
        else if UserInput1 == 2:
                a, b, n = 1, 1, (input("\nWhat Fibonacci number do you 
want to go to? "))
                while n > 0:
                        print a
                        a, b, n = b, a+b, n-1
                        UserInput2 = input("\nEnter 1 for the calculator, 
2 for the Fibonacci sequence, or something else to quit: ")

        else 
                quit = 1


the above is not finished... but without actually knowing what your trying 
to do.. the above code I just did would make a lot more sense.. I hope... 
You hit a wall cause the first while loop you had before never ends..
