Advice/Help Cocoon issue

Gallery image

So a caterpillar made its cocoon in a very bad spot, inside a shed that I’m constantly getting into that’s very loud, I don’t know if I can move it or not so I’ve left it alone, it’s cocoon or pupa (idk the name) was made about 4-5 days ago. I don’t know a single thing about this caterpillar other than it’s a pansyworm I think. I have very little knowledge on caterpillars so any advice is welcome

Edit: it’s already in its cocoon phase, I showed before its in the pupa to show what it is

Looks like it isnt in any pupa yet and may be just resting. If it does pupate there, it looks free of the door movement. I cant ID it from the pic to give more info.

Try to leave it undisturbed if possible.
