Hes probably moulting, leave him alone for 24 hours... Don't even check on him. If hes moulting he will do it himself, if hes not quite right theres probably nothing you can do for such a small spider anyway. I have seen a few of mine moulting on their fronts, just give him time.

Other than that, doesn't sound too good. Fingers crossed for the little guy.
