Morphology
The meaning 'a very bad or unpleasant day' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'crappy' (of very low quality or unpleasant) with 'day' (a period of time); the adjective clearly modifies the noun. This adjective + noun compositional pattern is common and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the MWE.
Etymology
Crappy day comes from the rude word crap and the adjective crappy, which meant 'rubbish' or 'dirt'. The idea of a day full of crap, messy and unwanted things, is why crappy day means 'a very bad or unpleasant day'.
