You'll struggle to get a good shot of the moon unless you know what you're doing with the manual camera settings - the camera will see all the black sky and try to judge the whole shot on that, so the moon will come out like a glowing light with no detail in it.

If your camera has any kind of manual controls you need to be able to change those, looking for f-stop settings (a number, like f3, which you want to change to like f8 if you can) and then shutter speed, may be written as 1/60, that needs to be more like 1/300. If you can change those, you may get a better shot of the moon.
