Your legs are the most important. There is no other muscle you need more when your pushing all of your weight through to him or her.
Then your biceps, triceps, and forearms. My coach always says, "If you can bench 'em you can beat 'em." Its true.
Third, your neck. When your about to get pinned your neck is going to save your ass with a bridge.
Edit: for workouts you need to concentrate on:
Benchpress
Curling
Legpress
Squat
For neck, just practice bridging. It will give you balance and work out your neck.

Squats and deadlifts work the legs and torso like you wouldn't believe- Obviously, these muscles are very important when it comes to wrestling, and having strength in those areas will give you a definite edge over those who don't- Bench presses give you upper body strength for pushing, bent over rows are great for the upper back which is great for pulling, and of course you'll need to work your arms and grip strength- Basically speaking, you should set yourself up with a nice routine that works all of your muscle groups for best results, but in my opinion, squats and deadlifts would be the most important.

People and coaches will say curling isn't important, but it is. When your trying to pin your opponent and you've got his arms locked in yours its pure strength and endurance. If you can't curl, that guy is going to break free and probably reverse the hold. Benchpress is going to help you be able to control your opponents weight in the starting lock. Squats will help you in almost anything. Legpress will help you move your opponents weight with you and from you in most cases. Deadlifts work your back out which gives you an edge when your opponent is tugging at your neck.
Cardio is also very important. You will want to jog for at least 20 minutes a day to lower your bodyfat and raise your endurance. Six minutes never will seems so long and tiresome if you aren't fit for it. Good luck.

the problem is i can't squat because i got bad knees, whenever i go down it feels like theyre gonna pop so i try to do wall squats where u sit against a wall, without a chair of course haha. I do leg press and now that the seasons done im gonna start leg pressing and jump roping. The problem i have in wrestling is when theyre on top i can't seem to get them off or get up even. I do have weak legs but my upper bodys pretty strong seeing i can max bench about 40-50 lbs over my body weight.

The dead lift where the Barbell is on the ground, you squat, then lift it to your waist.
To get good at making someone atop get off, start doing pushups. Try doing around 50 in a row at least. You really need to work on your legs, despite how weak they might be. The only way to get better and stronger is to just go ahead and do them with the pain. No pain no gain. If its a medical problem then maybe you shouldn't. But if its just an ache then put it aside.
