I think the next step for you to move on from web development is to jump to the native application development world.

This can either be mobile development or desktop development. There are many possible languages to use for this. Java is one of the most popular starting languages these days, but I would still suggest learning C or C++.

Why move on from web development?

And I know both c++ and java. But all my ideas are all web apps, I can't think of anything for desktop development.

Anything you are developing for the web can be developed for the desktop.

I don't see why this is an obvious "next step". These are different platforms, why is one necessarily preferred to the other?

Where i said that it's the obvious "next step". I only said (I think) it is.
