Nononono!
You should be in command mode, not insert mode.

Try the following, and let me know what happens:
- Create a multiple-line file (however you wish) named nlines.txt
containing something obviously in that file (e.g. start every
line with the same character or word).
- Create a single-line file (however you wish) named oneline.txt
containing something obviously different (e.g. different word
or leading character).
- Start up vim.
- Open nlines.txt (the handiest way may be to use the command
:browse e
which will pop up the standard "file open" dialog on your box,
allowing you to navigate to the file and open it.
- Open oneline.txt (as above).
- Enter the following
1G"+yy
(Go to line 1, select the + buffer, and yank a copy of the
current line into that buffer) then enter
:e#
and press return (which will take you to the other buffer,
containing nlines.txt). Then type
G"+p
(Go to the end of the file, select the + buffer, and Put
that buffer's contents after the current position.)
If that inserts the copied line somewhere else than the end
of the file, I suspect that your copy of vim may be damaged,
and would suggest that you go fetch a fresh copy from vim.org
and install it over the one you have.

As it should. Insert mode *means* that your keystrokes will be
inserted into the buffer.
