I witnessed that in my room after I caught a nymph, it molted on my sheets and i didnt want to move it and disturb it.
As it was emerging it made squeaking noises and you could hear it's body make crunching noises as it's skin started to expand, and green fluid came out like it was sweating.
But mine was female so it made no noise.
I would mist it lightly with water, it helps because outside early morning their is moisture in the air. But not in your house.
