my first chameleon ran away so I ended up buying another one but then I found her so now I'm pretty sure I have 2 females in one cage and one is dominating the other, she doesn't eat or do anything she sits and watches, her eyes are starting to sink and I'm worried. The other one was doing fine but she randomly gets little spasms but I'm sure it's just her getting scared and shes also not eating like before please give me advice
My chameleons dying help me

Yes, you absolutely have to separate them. If you can't afford another enclosure then you will have to find one of them a new home. They can't stay together
One of them died

Sorry to hear that. How is the other one? Do you have pics of her and the setup?

1. Get a bigger cage. That may help.
2. Have you seen her fall/cramp?
2. Call the masters! @Andee @jajeanpierre @Extensionofgreen @jpowell86

I hope she makes it but chameleons don't "run away", you lost it and I suggest staying away from chameleons until you learn how to properly take care of them.
If she is still alive she needs a bigger screen cage and lots and lots of plants and climbing branches. I also suggest filling out the how to ask for help so we can help you fix the other things you're doing wrong

Sunlight has made her much better but she use to not even try to eat know she atleast tries to catch the crickets but misses

What is her temperature in the terrarium? If it is too cold your chameleon either will not eat, or may not have enough energy to shoot their tongue out properly.
I really do want to be kind and say I am sorry for your loss, but I personally think you need to prepare more before you try to own pets. Chameleons should absolutely not be housed together unless you are an expert and keep a close eye on them. I'm not surprised one died. To be quite honest, I am actually a bit angry you believe you can own chameleons because as @Nursemaia said chameleons don't just run away from home.

Just noticed, do you have a door on your enclosure or is it wide open??

I am not sure about everyone else but I believe the bio bubbles are death traps. Unless you know what you are doing. Even then its too small for a veiled personal. How long did you wait after losing the one to get another? Do you have a uvb bulb? How much research have you done? What are your temps? Even if you have a uvb you don't have a proper setup to allow the chameleon to bask and get out of its light. Too much uvb isn't good either. What do you supplement With? How do you gutload your feeders? There is a lot of variables to keeping and I'm not seeing a lot of them that are in the chameleons favor. Sorry take your time and learn more. Chameleons are time consuming and expensive. Hopefully she pulls through but not looking good.
