I would recommend making sure your turtle is still eating and has access to a UV lamp to bask. If your turtle is not eating, not wanting to bask, and not swimming, then he is most likely ill. I would recommend taking him to see a veterinarian that is comfortable working with reptiles to be checked out.

Thanks for reaching out about Mr. Turtle. Being quiet could be a result of the temperature (environment or water) being too cold, placing them in a torpor. If that does not improve the situation, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
