It could be a ladybird pupa in which case it's a good guy. If you put ladybird nymph into your search engine there are millions of images for you to compare.

Regarding the yellowing leaves and 'rust' spots, a photograph would be very useful, and is the plant in a pot or in the ground? How long have you had it? Have you fed it with anything? Which area of the UK are you in?
