Photoshop trouble

seraiIf there's anyone who can help me here, I'd really appreciate it.
I have a picture. I would like to cut out a small part of it and put it onto another picture. It's not a square part, it's a freeform bit. For that, I always used the pen tool, with which I would draw the outline, making sure to connect the line up to make a whole, then use the Move tool to grab it and move it onto a new layer in the other picture.
Except now it doesn't work! When I use the Pen tool to make my cut, I get a solid mass filled with white (or black or whatever color is on the palette at the moment) instead of a clip of the picture I'm cutting. I can't figure out how to make the tool do what it used to - just cut out a piece OF THE PICTURE.
Is there something I don't know about here? Something I should be selecting or clicking that would change this? Because I've used PS for years and never had this problem before.
Help!!
