Hello,
This is likely because you chose the maximin number of Principle Components to use for DAPC. When that happens, your model will overfit your data and the discriminant axes will put such a vast distance between the groups that they appear to cluster into single points.
During the step where you choose the number of PC for the DA, the rule of thumb is to choose the number of PCs that makes up ~80% of the variation.
Hope that helps.
