Sounds like it molted, but something went wrong. It could still be stuck in part of the old cuticle or there could be some physiological problem.
A partial water change is not a good idea when an animal is haveing trouble molting. Even minor changes is salinity or water chemistry at this time are more serious than when the animal is between molts.
