I assume you are referring here to the book of Deuteronomy, which ends with a description of the death of Moses.
Most, but not all, biblical scholars believe that the majority of the book of Deuteronomy was written by Moses (in particular, the first 33 chapters). Chapter 34, which describes the death of Moses, was obviously NOT written by Moses. Think of chapter 34 as being a concluding appendix to the book of Deuteronomy, written by someone who wanted to complete the "story of Moses".
