Open the (s)quads menu and set the squad to active/training. If that doesn't help, give them a station order, and they should pick up their weapons.

(And in the future, ask questions like this in the DF Gameplay Questions subforum. Thanks!)

I wonder if the game has become odd.

Also, make sure you've set the squad uniform settings to "Replace clothing" instead of "Over clothing".

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Alright, the dwarf is armored and prepared to kill things with his fists...what's the problem?
(Kidding, of course.)

In my experience IRL, it's easier to hurt yourself with an axe or hammer than with a fist. Unless the fist is someone else's and they're mad at you.
