Let’s say I’m playing a game and after my combat phase I cast world at war is there still a clean up step or when my creatures attack for the second time will they still have damage on them? Same thing for my opponents creatures. Will they get damage removed from them too or will they keep the damage?
The cleanup step happens as part of the ending phase, which occurs at the end of your turn, after your post-combat main phase. World at war says nothing about giving you an additional ending phase or cleanup step and it specifically inserts the extra combat and main phase before the ending phase. So yes, all damage from the first combat (as well as from any other effects that came into play that turn) will remain marked on all creatures during the extra phases inserted by World at war.

Eventually, but not for a while yet.
500.1. A turn consists of five phases, in this order: beginning, precombat main, combat, postcombat main, and ending. Each of these phases takes place every turn, even if nothing happens during the phase. The beginning, combat, and ending phases are further broken down into steps, which proceed in order.
512. Ending Phase
512.1. The ending phase consists of two steps: end and cleanup.
Sequence if you don't cast World at War:
beginning phase
precombat main phase
combat phase
(first and only) postcombat main phase
end phase (including the cleanup step when damage is removed from creatures)
Sequence as described:
beginning phase
precombat main phase
combat phase
(first) postcombat main phase, in which you cast World at War
combat phase
(second) postcombat main phase
end phase (including the cleanup step when damage is removed from creatures)
There is no cleanup step between the two combat phases, so any damage from the first combat will still be marked.

Why bother with mere rulings when so many answers can be found in the Rules?
