If a person is staking ZEN, is it mandatory to unstake the coins first before attempting to send them out of the wallet, or is this the type of system where you can send out of the wallet without unstaking first?

I tried to send my ZEN out of the wallet, and I can not get the send to work as nothing happens.  What happens is all kinds of letters appear at the top of the wallet when I attempt to send them out.

What can I do to fix this and send the ZEN out?

Thank you
