This sounds like Lemon is pretty ill. Unfortunately, he will need to be seen by a veterinarian in person right away as these are general symptoms and don't point to any one illness in particular. Until you can get to the vet, moving him to a hospital cage that is kept warm and with perches removed, and easy access to food and water may help.
