This problem came up once while we were testing our robot, but thank god someone noticed this on the dashboard before we enabled anything. First, you want to make sure that the driver station application is updated and that any necessary drivers for the controller are installed on the computer or laptop that you are running the driver station off of. Then, I would suggest to...
1) Unplugging and plugging the USB back in and seeing if that fixes the issue.
2) Plugging the USB into a different USB port
3) Restarting the driver station application
4) Restarting the computer or laptop that the driver station is running on
5) If all else fails, see if a different controller yields the same results

We have a Logitech controller that we use for driving that has a Xbox and Play Station mode on the back of it, I'm not sure about the controller that you have, but I would check to see if there is a switch to change modes on the controller and seeing if that fixes anything as well. Good luck!
