    Perhaps your plant was mislabeled from the nursery. This does happen.
    Autumn Joy is a color that is easy to pick out in the garden, so it would seem you have a different Sedum Variety.

    Hab Grey fits your description.
    Here is a link about Stonecrop and Sedum.

    I'm sorry I can't explain why the succulent is growing in the way it is.
    It seems to be healthy. I would rotate the plant weekly to help with even sunlight.

    You can actually just cut down the stems if they have spilt off and are lying on the ground. You can lift these plants now through the fall or early in the spring to move them.
    Here are some links for you.

    These are actually fungus gnats, which commonly affect these plants. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/children/fungus-gnats.htm
    Neem oil will help take care of these pests and will not hurt the plants or beneficials in the garden. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/neem-oil-uses.htm

    Some Sedum is toxic while some are not.

    With so many different varieties available I would always lean on the cautious side. Don't allow your dog to eat the plants.
    Always consult your vet if a pet eats something that they should not.

    Here is a link with more information.

    You should follow a regular watering schedule during it's first growing season.
    The weed barrier is likely an issue for the root system of the plants, this is more of an issue than the soil mixture.
    Sedum can tolerate most soil conditions.
    Here are some links for you with more information.

    The cooler fall should be an easier time to start new plants.

    Live Forever Sedum is a very reliable and hardy sedum.

    If you did not dead head the plant in the fall, those stems and flowers will lie flat on the ground and can be removed now or during your early spring clean up.
    You can generally just give a gentle pull and they will break away from the plant. You can use a garden snip also to cut them close to the ground.
    The new growth will began to appear as small rosettes close to the ground, each of which will become a stem.
    Your plant is growing exactly the way it should be!
