She should be fine, just give her some time to finish molting.

Indeed she is fine and it is normal as she is she attached and isn't finished molting. She is in the process of drying and often will they will stay in the old exuviae (shed skin) from 10 minutes to 2 hours before pulling completely free (as they are much too soft after molting and takes 24 hours to fully harden).

Seeing them through a molt is the most nerve racking experience I reckon. Glad it was successful!
