It is either a pollination problem or a calcium deficiency. I would guess it is likely a pollination problem. This article will help with that:

If you see immature fruit falling off or shriveling, you may need to hand pollinate. This article will help with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/melons/hand-pollinating-melons.htm ^[2]
