Using Ardunio and MOSFET to drive 5V to 12V

I wasn't really sure what to look for in the DMM, but here are some measurements.

Vgd .7v-0v
Vgs .6v-0v
Vds .7-0v
Vec.7-0v
Vbc .6-.8
Veb .7-0v

I am currently running a configuration of moving SOL attached to drain and +12V

Edit: I want to also note that from the advice from some others I am using a diagram almost identical to this, with the exception of removing the 4N35 in place of my NPN BJT

Sorry, I realized I didnt have the image displaying properly
