Honestly, I don't think the autopilot would make any effort to maintain altitude. Most likely, it would disconnect as soon as the master alarm tripped from the fuel starved engine losing thrust. On the off chance that the 777 has an autopilot that does not disengage, the 777 is programmed with "flight envelope protection" in it's flight computer, and the autopilot would simply hold a descending altitude of "best glide" until it hit ground or water.
