That can be a general sign of illness, especially if he is sleeping on the floor of the cage (it's hard to tell from your photo). Keeping him warm and eating and drinking can help, however since the behavior has been ongoing for a week it is best to bring him to a vet for a complete exam. Birds are great at hiding illness, so ruling out any issues such as nutrition problems, infections, illnesses, etc with your vet is best.
