If this is a natural DNA and you just want to run MD on it, you don’t need to do any conversion or parametrization. Just load it as a pdb. Parmchk is suppose to return you an empty file in that case.
If this is an artificially modified DNA then it can take some work to get it ready-not something a few sentences can cover. But if you know about prep files, then the direction is to convert the DNA into prep file residues, the same way protein and DNA information is stored in the AMBER library. There is an example prep file template stored in your installation, and there is also the “prepgen“ command, which there should be somewhat detailed descriptions on it in the AMBER manual.
