well what probably happend is that the plant completly closed to where you cant even see inside of it, if that happend it whent into the digestion phase and is going to fill up with digestive enzymes and get nutrients from it. its completly normal and shuold open in about 10 days with the dead lifeless exoskeliton of the roach you feed it

your plant is fine its just in the sealing stage and like mike said its filling with digestive fluids and will reaopen in 5 to 12 days depending on the size of the roach and age of the trap but roaches have a hard "skin" so it will most likely reopen in maybe 10 days
