They don't weave a chrysalis. They shed their skin, and the chrysalis is what is left under their skin when they shed the final time. Some moth caterpillars weave a cocoon around themselves before shedding skin to form their pupa.

Disguise, hibernation, metamorphosis, and silk production are what happens when a caterpillar spins a cocoon.

Specifically, a caterpillar functions as the second stage in the life cycle of a butterfly or moth. This stage is preceded by the first stage as an egg and succeeded by the third stage as a pupa and the fourth as an adult lepidopteran. A cocoon will be made of silk developed, emitted and spun by the caterpillar for protection during hibernation in order to prepare for subsequent emergence into the final stage of a lepidopteran's life.

Yes they do. When the time comes for them to change into a butterfly (or moth) - they spin a silk cocoon to protect them while the changes are taking place.
