I just began a game playing black

1.e4c6
2.Nc3d5
3.exd5cxd5
4.Nxd5

 

Can someone explain to me why my next move, black Qxd5, is considered "illegal".

They app won't let me make this move.

cos you were playing some kind of handicap game perhaps and didn't have a queen to make that move with?

There are no queens on the board.
