Thanks for reaching out. Water dragons are predominately insectivorous. Typically live insects attract the attention of the dragon, stimulating appetite. You might try pinhead crickets or small mealworms. Hand-feeding might be an option to start. Intestinal parasites or an infection, might also be a possibility, a veterinary visit needs to be scheduled for a diagnosis and treatment plan. Good luck.
