i think my monarch butterfly is dying. please help?

I got a monarch chrysalis from a festival and it came out two days ago. You are suppose to let them go, so they can migrate south, but after his wings hardened, It was raining very hard and cold outside, so i wanted to wait until the next day. He was very strong, then suddenly he started shivering a lot almost like seizures, and he can't fly anymore. He seems very weak and he wont walk. His legs are folded in. It sounds dumb because it's just a tiny creature, but It's breaking my heart. I have done nothing to hurt him and have been taking very good care of him feeding him honey/water solution and grapes, keeping him warm enough and looking up information on how to care for monarchs. He is so weak and I don't know what I should do. What is wrong with him?
He was just way too weak and he died. I did everything I could. I'm very sad

First off, there is nothing wrong with you getting the chrysalis. Actually scientests and conservationists encourage people raising monarchs because they are disappearing more and more. The fourth generation monarch migrate to Mexico living six to eight months while the first three generations live two to six weeks ad do not migrate, they just lay more eggs.

I have raised monarchs from when they were baby caterpillars until they make the chrysalis and come out for 3 years now and have raised over 180.

First off with you just getting the chrysalis, you do not know if they were raised properly to survive.

Is it in a big enough container where he can fly around? Because with it raining he needs something big to fly in.

Also he needs sugar water, you can get a recipe for hummingbrd sugar water and use it for the monarch. They survive on sugar water or nectar.

I really think you should put him outside, I'm in the same boat as you, my monarch came out of his chrysalis today and it is pouring. I am moving him into a butterfly house until the rain is gone or is a light sprinkle.

Just give him sugar water and put him outside. Monarchs travel to Mexico and come across rain and sometimes snow, it doesn't kill them, just slows them down because they take shelter in those situations.
