I'm guessing that it is a crab spider but I don't know the specific name. When messed with it actually would drop and dangle on a web. I found it on my garage but it wasn't walking sideways. Its also missing a leg on the right side of the cephalothorax.

I'm not totally sure but this looks similar to one of the Ground Crab Spider species. Possibly from Genus Xysticus. It would be a male with that color and shape. Here are a couple of links that might help:
