If you want to continue the simulation generated by another MD program, you
would have to implement whatever force field that other program used into
Amber.
Amber has some lone-pair capabilities, which may or may not be equivalent to
what the other program used or assumed. Since documentation is sparse, you
would have to study the code to see how lone pairs work here. Since you say
you are new to Amber, this is unlikely to be an easy or simple task.
Antechamber is the program to apply the general Amber force field (GAFF) to
molecules. GAFF does not use lone pairs, so antehcamber won't be of much
help. Unless: if you want to continue the simulation using GAFF (without lone
pairs), then strip the lonepair records from the input PDB file, then
continue.
...good luck...dac
