It's possible you lost connection and the move didn't reach the server in time.

Could be any number of reasons.

You pre-moved and that move was illegal (it might have been legal before your opponent's move, but after it, it would put your king in check)

 

You did not pre-move and spent 1/2 a second, leading to your clock reading triple-zeroes.

You did not pre-move and you mouse slipped and while you may have intended something like Bg2-c6, you really went Bg2-d6 via a mouse slip - or any other neighboring square.

I think I remember it saying something about the server.

I was not using pre-moves and I moved and I was not using a mouse
