Indeed Annie, you are doing exactly what it needed, like Melanie said! Please don't move it until the chrysalis is hardened. It is best to leave it right where it is and in about 10-14 days it should be ready to emerge.
You didn't say if it was a Black ST or a Great Swallowtail. Did you take a picture or had you already checked the link for identifying those?
Congrats!!

edited...forgot about the pic. These are the two shapes (ignore colors) in case you didn't ID before, but it sounded like you did. I was going to delete the pic, but forgot.
