just a few thoughts 1) is your autothrottle off 2) did you apply the brakes 3)are your spoilers armed and deployed 4) did you apply the thrust reversers

Autothrottle and autopilot are two entirely separate systems. You should be switching the A/T off as part of the final approach procedure - usually at about 1,000ft AGL when confirmed on g/s.

You might want to look at the Learning Center in the sim for further guidance.
