Well, it's hard for me to tell how you got that answer, because it's pretty far off. You need to understand the definition of line integral: since you are given a particular vector field, you need to do the line integral of that vector field, along the curve you have, which looks like the following:
Next you have to use the parameterization you already wrote down x(t)=t, y(t)=t^2, which will give you x'(t)=1 and y'(t)=2t, hence you have:

which gives you
