You most likely simply saved your document with an .htm(l) extension, but didn't change the output format in the dropdown list to "HTML Document (Writer) .html .html." Try resaving it with the correct output format.

BTW, if everything else fails, you could simply press CTRL+A, CTL+C in Writer and CTRL+V in Sigil to paste the text in Book View mode into the empty default document that Sigil creates. (You'll lose most formatting, though.)
