The potential energy of a force field is given with respect to an
arbitrary zero, so the absolute value will not tell you anything. Bond
parameters are e.g. all set so that their minima correspond to zero, not
the true bonding energy.
As always in physical chemistry, a total energy is not useful unless you
have some other energy to compare to (and a process connecting both).
Therefore, I would assume that all is well with your simulation :-)
Happy holidays,
