Thanks for reaching out about Sky. It sounds as if he is very sick and needs to see a veterinarian. With being quiet/lethargic/sleeping, his is having a hard time hiding his illness, because it is advanced. A veterinary visit is recommended, tonight or tomorrow. Birds have few reserves. Providing supplemental heat in the 80-85 F can provide aid. This condition can occur due to metabolic disorders (liver, renal, pancreatic), infectious diseases, dietary deficiencies, and other problems. A veterinarian can help sort it out. Good luck.
