As people have suggested its just a longer moult than you're used to. Its a very stressful time for a tarantula so please do not be tempted to disturb it. It will probably need a week for the new skin and fangs to harden so do not be tempted to feed it a cricket within that time as its at its most vulnerable.
Tarantula have been doing this for millions of years, well before we were even on the planet. The only suggestion is to leave it alone but to make sure there's a water bowl.
