Opening a new level using Common UI

So I have a main menu level and when i press a button it will open a new level. In that new level, I have a HUD class which will create a common user widget and add it to the viewport. The problem is when i press the button, it opens the level and I can see the widget but I cant move my character. It works when i change the widget to a normal user widget. Is there a way to make it so that i can move my character and see the widget?
