without seeing more code I can only guess, but I think the issue is that you are creating a new stopwatch when you are pausing the game

public function pauseGame (e:MouseEvent){
    timestop = new Stopwatch();  // <-- a new instance with a new timer inside
    timestop.Stoptimer();
}

the timestop should be a global variable so you shouldn't need to instantiate it again, so this should be enough:

public function pauseGame (e:MouseEvent){
    timestop.Stoptimer();
}
