You have two atoms almost on top of one another in your initial structure.
Use the checkoverlap command in cpptraj to get more information. Minimization
will probably help, but be sure to use a CPU version of sander or pmemd,
not the GPU version.

Also, the initial values for the bond and angle energies are quite large:
see what happens to them upon minimization.

Do you get a very high restraint energy? Check the output, and/or use the
ambmask utility, to make sure that your restraintmask is affecting the
atoms you want.
