Answer
Hey, Nolan.
That is a bad sign because it means your hamster could have wet tail.  Wet tail is a very harmful but common type of intestinal infection.  What you should do right now is try to see if you can get your hamster to a vet.  A vet has the right kind of antibiotics that are needed to treat this infection.  Remember, the sooner your hamster gets these antibiotics, the better.
The only thing you can do is to make sure your hamster doesn't dehydrate.  Make sure he's drinking plenty of water, and giving him some apple or cucumber slices would help as well.
I hope your hamster gets better, and if you have any more questions, I'll be glad to help out.  
Best wishes to both of you.
