I am frustrated trying to figure so I figue I would post teh question

 

I am trying to set up a pose and simply trying to rotate the hips on my figure. When I selct the hips and try and rotation or movement the  entire figure moves as if I have selected the body of the figure.

 

Is ther ea way to unlock this or simply rotate the hips? I turn on IK and it seems to work but the figure gets very distorted?

thanks fo rany help.
