I HAVE GOOGLED IT LOOKE IN A LOT OF DICTIONARIES, BUT ALL I CAN DO IS FIND IT ON WEB SITES THAT ARE FOREIGN. I'M THINKING IT MAY MEAN CRASH OR EXICUTE, BUT I'M NOT SURE CAN SOME ONE CONFIRM?

Are you sure you don't mean 'crescendo'? If you do, it means music played at a constantly increasing volume (getting louder in other words). It's derived from the Italian word 'crescendo', which means 'growing' in Italian.
Edit: If you do actually mean 'crashando', I don't think it actually exists as a real dictionary word in any European language. But in Italian at least, you may sometimes see it used as a kind of slang word to mean 'crashing' - specifically, a computer crashing. Basically they've just taken the english word 'crash' and added 'ando' to the end, which is the Italian equivalent of 'ing'.

I don't know about the origin. "Crashando" is Portuguese and means crashing.
