So I've just got this juvie albo hondu 2 inch in DLS size today, and when I opened it, it's in lying down position, so I've just let it just be in that position and just not touch or move it and I'm not sure if it's molting, is it molting?
(I'm just new in keeping tarantula) and if it's molting how long it will take to finish molting? Thank you for answering my question

If thats how you got it, leave it be and keep watching. Molting in transport happens. How dry is that paper towel? If its bone dry, you could always put a drop or two of water below the tarantula. But at this point, it either molts or dies.

you can put the whole thing in enclosure so tarantula walks out into its home if it survives. Make sure water bowl ready to welcome it.

The position looks like molting position.

how cold was transportation?
