I have a website that was properly configured in Google Webmaster Tools and indexed in Google.

Then I created a redirection from this website to my new website so that any request to:
mysite.fr
goes to:
mysite.com
I have added the new site to Google Webmaster Tools, but so far the number of indexed pages is zero.

If I check the stats of my old website, it seems they were updated with the data of the new website (sitemap and indexed pages).

This is very confusing, can someone explain what's going on? Is this expected behavior after a 301 redirect?

See my answer here: Would my SEO be impacted if I migrated posts from Tumblr to a hosted WordPress solution?

In short I would make sure you fill out the Change of Address form in WMT (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/83106?hl=en) and you resubmit your sitemap from your old site (so Google picks up the 301's), then submit the sitemap for the new site.

Also, try going to Google and do a "search" of your site prefixed with "site:". example: site:www.google.com You'll see if your new site is actually visible or not, regardless of what WMT says.
