Don’t know why it’s doing this, it’s abdomen is pretty plump and dark, it’s made a burrow out of no where, I’ve had it for like a month, unsure of what this is.

It may be in premolt. A month isn't a long time... many spiders take awhile to start burrowing a new enclosure.

Just ensure there is water available, and if you don't already offer pre-killed food now is the time to start. Leave pre-killed prey near the burrow entrance overnight once every few days/once a week and remove the next day if not eaten.

could be premolt. Spider should be just fine.
don't be surprised if it stays in there for a few weeks. Keep water dish topped off and i would only offer pre-killed until it molts.
