I am assuming you just did just paste instead of paste as new layer. Also most times when you get a floating selection you will get a green icon to make a new layer (at the bottom of your layer dialogue). I wouldn't try to enlarge it until you did.
I always had this trouble at first too. There is also in the move tool options to move your layer, selection or path. Make sure you don't have it on selection when you move it if you want to move the layer.
