Color Change

My Avicularia versicolor sling is acting different ever since I rehoused it. It even looks different. Part of its abdomen is purple but the rest is the regular blue color. It has stopped eating and webbing. When I open the enclosure, the existing webbing is destroyed every time. After a while of this happening the sling gave up on making a new one. Could the color change be from stress? Or is it about to molt?

I dont think spiders change color from stress. A color change usually means premolt. and a versicolor gets its name form color changes
