It sounds like you may have accidentally entered the moves into the conditional moves window rather than the Analysis board.

So basically, when you use the conditional moves window you're setting up automatic moves to be made. This link explains more in depth:

So as long as your opponent followed the line you set up, the moves you put on that board will be made automatically.
