It means you have a female, and its happens, that's what females do. Sadly, once mature 99% of captive females die of complications caused by failed reproduction efforts.

Most likely, your female has more eggs inside her, they go septic and you can wave goodbye to her. Take her to a vet. Thanks

Those are infertile eggs. It's not unusual.

Make sure she has a proper nesting site. Many females become eggbound and die like that.
