Unfortunately there's nothing I can recommend at home - this sounds very serious, and Motu may require intensive care and even surgery if there has been a spinal fracture. Most places still have emergency care available even if they are under restrictions to shelter in place - I'd recommend trying to search for an emergency veterinarian near you.
