Not sure why you cant see the video. But the larvae is in third instar i believe and it just doesnt want to dig into substrate , just moves the legs a bit , and its like really really squishy .Can’t access the video...
Tried uploading an image?
What instar is the larva, what is the husbandry like etc.?
What colour is the larvae, if it appears to have ‘contracted’ or desiccated slightly (of course not properly dry) it could be in a prepupal phase.Not sure why you cant see the video.
