Sometimes the songwriter will provide a full arrangement, sometimes not.

And sometimes the producer will do the arrangement and write charts (or
hire someone to do it), and hire the musicians. And sometimes they'll
rewrite the lyrics, too, if they think it will make the song more
commercial and, as co-writer, get a piece of the writing royalties.
Of course an independent artist with an independent release doesn't have
to change anything, but once you get into the commercial world, it's a
team effort and everyone gets a piece of the pie.
