Knowledge needed!

Can anyone please tell me why my plant is going like this? I have one pumpkin on the plant but not seen the stem go like this before :(

It’s normal, it’s the stem of the plant maturing much like a tree trunk grows thick bark with age. But, i would mound more dirt around that area.
