This sounds to me like the latency of your US-122. Consider; the analog audio of your keyboard is converted to digital (by the US-122) then is sent to Cubase where it is fed back to the monitor output which routes it back to the US-122 where the digital signal is converted back to analog which is what you then hear. Each conversion takes time which adds delay to the final signal getting to your headphones. To avoid this delay use the direct monitoring feature of the US-122 to listen to your keyboard's audio as it is *before* the analog to digital conversion.

I can play back the file at a later time, but when I tried to export it and save it as a .wav file it won't play when I open that file inside media player. Also, when I downloaded the .wav file to a CD it wouldn't play there either.

Are you setting the in/out markers before you export? Are you choosing the correct output in the export dialog (i.e. the same output that your audio tracks are assigned to)? What is the file size of your exported wav file? If it is zero kb then your in/out markers probably aren't set. What does Windows Media Player do when you open the file? Is there an error message? Does it tell you the play time of the file (e.g. minutes & seconds).
