Its not uncommon for Pumpkins, squash, cucumbers and melons to cross pollinate with each other which can lead to some very uncommon fruit

Looks like you grew two different types of squash without knowing.
Cross-pollination only presents in subsequent generations, so you would have to have ‘contaminated’ seeds. Also, pumpkins do not successfully cross-pollinate with melons, cucumbers, many squash, tomatoes, etc
It could also be deformed, due to disease, insects, genetics, etc.
