Hi Jayden,
As steve mentioned, you'll need a tripod.
with the lens at 250mm, you should be able to get a fairly decent sized moon.
you'll need to experiment a bit, but I prefer to set my focus to manual (MF) and fine adjust using live view.
you could set it to auto and let it adjust exposure so it doesn't get over exposed, else change it to manual, try different shutter speeds below 1s till it looks balanced.
there are loads of settings you could play with, I'd suggest getting a basic idea of them from the manual and then experimenting.
most close ups of the moon here are taken through telescopes.
edit: one other trick is to set your shot to a 2 sec delay. that way the movement caused by your hand dies down and improves focus.
Do post your pic however bad it is and someone should be able to give you some tips as that'll give a good idea of what can be improved.
good luck.
