Problem importing character Rig

[Anonymous]

I am taking a Maya class for beginners through Animation Mentor, and am using Maya 2019. I am able to import a squirrel rig, but once I do I cannot move the character around the Maya set. When I try to move him, his shape becomes deformed.

My second issue is that the character does not have any color and is supposed to have color. It does not work when I try to color with "assign new material". 

Lastly, when I try to render my scene, it turns up black. 

I do have screen shots if that helps. Thanks for your help.
