The golden caterpie was a shiny pokemon. Shiny Pokemon are extreamly rare. Theres a 1/10000 chance of finding one so I hope you caught it. The caterpie will stay golden even if it evolvs so don't worry. If you didnt catch it then good luck trying to get it again.

digireaper answered:

The gold caterpie is a shiny Pokemon which is basicly a different colored Pokemon it can happen to any wild Pokemon and is very rare.
And yes when it evolves it will be a different color but not gold.

You have a shiny Pokemon. They are very rare, but don't have any different qualities - just a glitch really. They look pretty cool, so they're good... It's just a shame it was a Caterpie. If you Evolve it, it should still be discoloured.
