Do some games require Wii controllers for dolphin. When loading game says wii controller not recognised or to start the game asks me to press A but nothing happens with the xbox controller i am using.

You need to set the controls properly. There are several different controller types that need to be set. You either need to emulate a wii mote, a wii mote + nunchuck, sometimes a wii classic controller will work, sometimes a GameCube controller will work. It depends on the game, and a game that requires motion controls may not work the best. You can emulate swings, and waggle to a certain extent, but not fully. You'll set the main controller type, like Wii Mote or GameCube controller, and in the Wii mote's case, there will be another sub section to then set the add-on, which can be several things. So yea, at this point you'll just need to set up the controller properly. If you want to use real Wii hardware, there is also the Mayflash Dolphin Bar that you can get, and in conjunction with Bluetooth you can get it working.
