I think this is melon found in my garden, I didn’t plant any. How to keep care in the summer and which type of melon may this be?

Could be any kind of cucurbit. They hybridize easily so it could be something like a cucamelon or a cantelopkin or a gourd or just something with a thick rind and nothing worth eating in the middle.
Most likely cantaloupe or muskmelon. The broad heart shaped seed leaves and the fuzzy,palmate true leaves emerging are classic melon characteristics. Given the warm weather, this guy found perfect conditions to germinate in your lawn!
Really hard to tell the melon just based on the leaves. I’ve had an explosion of Gulf Coast Melons in the past year, so it could also be that. I think wild animals spread those seeds.
