Whatever that thing is on the "top" of the poop looks sort of like that bizarre thing on the "bottom" of the poop from yesterday. I have no idea what it is, but it doesn't look completely "normal". It might be worth it to put that poop in a ziplock bag and put it in the fridge, in case you need to take it to a vet to have tested.
The other thing is that there is too much orange in that poop, indicating your chameleon might be a bit dehydrated.

What are you feeding and what is the basking temperature?

It sure looks like he got a hold of something he couldn't process. However, it seems to be improving. Could he have eaten some substrate? Or did you feed him something strange?
The urate does look orange. I agree with giving him a nice shower. I would then recommend having a dripper going as much as possible during the day for him.

feeding crix, and temps are 85-90 for basking. I was also giving silkworms but i am all out and he seemed to lose interest in them. I have some phoenix and wax worms on the way

The normal recommendation for a shower is to put a plant in the shower, turn the shower on and point it at the wall so it bounces off the wall onto the plant. Get the water so it feels hot but not burning coming out of the showerhead (it will cool down as it travels). Turn the shower off, put the chameleon on the plant, turn the water back on. He's likely to act like he hates it at first, but should relax in a few minutes. Leave him in as long as you can. 20, 25 minutes would not be too long.
It's possible he ate something from the plant's "dirt".

a piece of driftwood will also work. doesn't have to be a plant-- just something good to hold onto and potentially drink off of.
