Press the middle key and menu key at the same time until the apple screen comes on. This will reset your settings but usually when my iPod does something funky like that I just do that and it's fine. If that doesn't work, contact your local Apple store.
This happens when you dont charge your ipod when supposed to be charged then when it shuts of and you give it a full battery or over charge it the battery burns out (same thing happenes to cell phones and laptops)
Sound like your battery about to die. Time to replace the battery
