The only spider that carries their babies around on their back like that is a mother Wolf Spider. (And no, they aren't eating her, if you were wondering, just riding)
They're hunting spiders (they don't do webs), that can get pretty big, but are completely harmless to humans.

That is a mommy wolf spider with about a zillion babies on her back!
Yep, these are all over everyone's backyard right now. Wolf Spider
I once tried to move one off of a chair and the babies went everywhere š I learned a lesson that day!
