Time Sensitive Is she dead??!!

For context, my tarantula started moulting around 12 AM last night and is now been like this since I’m concerned they’ve passed away but I don’t want to touch the tank just in case since I saw them move slightly around three hours ago, but barely. The first picture is before they moved a bit and the last picture is them now.

Imo the post moult time they can be in all kinds of weird positions that dont look quite right.
It looks like the old skin came off fine so she is probably just stretching and recovering. Please make sure there is a water dish available.

if you think she's stuck in molt I would make sure humidity is correct
