You're trying to sweep an output pin that is driving high.
My guess is either: (1) you connected the curve tracer to a 5V power pin by
mistake; or (2) the current scale on the curve tracer is set much too
sensitive.
If it's set to show you nanoamps or microamps full-scale, the voltage is not
going to move noticeably from 5V. Set the curve tracer so that it shows you
at least tens of milliamps full-scale.
