In ComputerChoice(), you obtain the choice of the computer.
In PlayerChoice() however, you do not obtain the player choice, but instead 
decide on the result.

I would suggest to modify PlayerChoice() to just obtain the player choice 
(code which you now have in main()).

Next write a new function that takes the computer choice and the player 
choice, and decides on the outcome.
(that function should have 3 possible return values).

Then in the main loop combine all three functions.
The construct you should investigate seems the 'while' statement.
(while the game is not decided, call the functions)
