How to expand disk space on an OS X 10.13 VM?

I created a VM with OS X 10.13. The VMBundle takes up 42.63 GB on my host's physical disk. The HD inside the VM says my (virtual) disk capacity is 42 GB. Fine, but 34 GB is already used up (must be the OS and some stuff brew installed) so I need more room. I've followed the instructions online, shutting down the machine and going to Settings in VMWare and the Hard Disk panel, dragging the Disk size to 81 GB. It worked, but nothing changed - it still thinks it only has 42GB. The instructions say to next re-partition the disk from inside the VM OS, but I don't see how - Disk Utility won't let you repartition the disk you're booted from (as far as I know). How do I actually let the VM OS use the additional 40 GB I'm trying to give it?
