When I got Waldo my Red Eye tree frog he did something very similar. As soon as I put him into the tank he was in a panic to get out. He went to the top and was pushing on every corner of the screen to get out. He did that all night long the first night I got him. I actually thought he hated his new home. The next night he checked out the roof again although not in such a panic and I put a bunch of crickets in there to distract him but he didn't seem to care about them. The third and fourth night he wouldn't even wake up and come out. I added more plants to give him more hides because I thought he was scared and kept it real dark and quiet for him. A couple of nights later he would come out a little more , eat a few crickets and go back to bed. Then eventually he settled down and started acting like a comfortable normal frog. It really scared me at first because I thought he hated his new home but it was just that a new home. Frogs are very simplistic creatures and creatures of habit. If you'll notice he'll go back to the same place to sleep every night. Well by cleaning and rearranging his tank he feels that you took away his house and his bedroom (leaf). But don't worry he will settle in. Put him back into his regular enclosure and keep it real quiet and dark for him and over time he will settle in. He may take a month or sometimes a little longer to get back to his normal routine but he will. Be patient.
