Well, first of all, you don't have very many pixels on your subject; that's not a good start.

Use a tripod, and either electronic first curtain (EFCS) or full electronic shutter to minimize camera shake.  It is best to use a timer, or a remote release.

Shoot at, or near f5.6 for maximum sharpness.  A lower ISO is best.  And remember that the moon is a daylight exposure.  Depending on how you have metered the shot (especially where your subject is so small, in a vast sky of black), your camera is going to think you are shooting a very dark scene.  But while it is night time here on Earth, it is daytime on the moon, and that's your subject.
