How long a caterpillar takes to become a cocoon depends on its species. Some species take three weeks to three months.
The eastern tent caterpillar typically spends about 2-3 weeks in its cocoon before emerging as an adult moth.
I just found a Lunar Moth catipiller. Talked to a lady that has studied them and she told me the one I have found is about to form its cocoon and that it would come out next spring.

Butterflies liquefy in cocoon?
A butterfly does not spin a cocoon, it's pupa is called a chrysalis. A moth, however, spins a protective silk case which is known as a cocoon. A caterpillar spins either a cocoon or a chrysalis depending on its breed. After being incased it will be its transfirmation into a butterfly. The time spent in the chrysalis is different for each species of Butterfly, but when the metormorphosis is complete the new butterfly will break its way out of the casing of the chrysalis and spread its new wings for the first time. The butterfly will genrally cling onto the side of the chrysalis for an hour or so, to allow their wings to dry out, and enable them to fly for the first time. The time that a lava spends in pupation may be brief, as with the Monarch butterfly who only stay in a chrysalis for 2 weeks. However, some species enter into a dormant state when they start pupation and stay in this stage until the appropriate season. They mostly stay dormant through the winter months or during the dry season in the tropics.
