It probably means something like "little tiny".

Hi Rona 12
It comes from a children's nursery rhyme and is basically a "childish" way of saying "tiny, wee" spider.
See:
Incy wincy spider - encyclopedia article about Incy wincy spider.
Itsy Bitsy Spider" (also known as "Incy Wincy Spider" or "Eency Weency Spider") is a popular nursery rhyme that describes the adventures of a spider as it ascends, descends and reascends the downspout or "waterspout" of a gutter system (or, alternatively, the spout of a teapot). It is usually accompanied by a sequence of gestures that mimic the words of the song.
Hope this helps
Regards
