It will be AC's responsibility to get you to WAW, although UA may be willing to help also. You should not need award space, although some agents may insist upon it anyway. (*A rules are very clear on this, but they're not always obeyed). LAX is a relatively small hub for UA, particularly TATL, so if they can't get you onto LH or LX you may be looking at an extra connection on the East Coast. AC may also try to route you back through YYZ.
If it looks like you may have issues, I'd be prepared by looking to see what alternate *A flights have inventory so you can be prepared to ask.
