There was no "braking" as much as there was a burn which converted the translunar insertion trajectory, or TLI (the trajectory the was set upon leaving Earth orbit) into a lunar orbital trajectory -- or Lunar orbital insertion (LOI).
The translunar insertion trajectory was one that could be efficiently converted into a lunar orbit with minimal fuel used. That same TLI trajectory was also specially calculated to easily allow for a free return to Earth (by sling-shotting around the Moon) if the mission needed to be aborted (such as was the need for Apollo13).
But in short, there was not a "braking" maneuver that was made with a big engine burn when they got to the Moon, but more of a "nudge" into lunar orbit with a relatively smaller burn.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "...or did they float up?"
