messed up display

Using Arduino Displays

when i run this sketch, get weird characters showing up, any suggestions?

void loop() 
{
  while (digitalRead(buttonPin) == HIGH) //if the button is pushed, then do normal sweep
  {          
    for (pos = 0; pos < 180; pos += 1)
    {
     myservo.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos' 
     delay(15);    
     Serial.println(pos);
     lcd.print(pos);
     lcd.print("current");
     delay(15);
     lcd.clear();
      if (pos == 0)
      {
        digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
      } 
      else
      {
        digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
      }
      if (pos > 1)
      {
        digitalWrite(ledPin1, HIGH);
      }
      else
      {
        digitalWrite(ledPin1, LOW);
      }
      
    } 
    for (pos = 180; pos>=0; pos-=1)     // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees                            
    { 
    myservo.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos' 
   delay(15);  
   Serial.println(pos);
   lcd.print(pos);
   lcd.print("current");
   delay(15);  

      // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position                                  
      if (pos == 180)
      {
        digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
      } 
      else
      {
        digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
      }
      if (pos < 180)
      {
        digitalWrite(ledPin1, HIGH);
      }
      else
      {
        digitalWrite(ledPin1, LOW);

What is pos?

when i run this sketch, ...

At what point in the sketch?

get weird characters showing up...

What did you expect to show up and what actually did show up?

Did any of the information for the LCD actually show up correctly or is all of it all messed up?

Your code in your OP was different than your second code post, not just that the second post has complete code, but the code in loop() in your second post is slightly different from the code in the loop in the OP. Only two places. Since you wrote these codes, go find the differences (read line by line) and tell me what they are and I can tell you why you get gibberish.
