Sorry, apparently code was not as simple as I thought, I had wrong command (distance vs dist) and wrong input order, still didn't work right. So took a different approach, try this:
 
(defun c:dx ()
   (setq Pt1 (getpoint "\nPick first point: "))
   (setq Pt2 (getpoint Pt1 "Pick second point: "))
   (setq Pt1x (list (car Pt1) (cadr Pt1)))
   (setq Pt2x (list (car Pt2) (cadr Pt2)))
   (command "_dist" Pt1x pt2x)
   (princ)
)

There is stil a problem, i have copied ti into the command bar, presed Enter and tiped "dx". This text shows:

Pick first point: Pick second point:    (I pick points)

And after that the program still doesnt give me the horizontal distance (it works like the normal dist command).

Am I doing something wrong, I do not understand..???

The code uses the regular "dist" command, but uses just the x-y values of the points you picked. So check the output and see if that is happening.
