If it is an oil lubricated compressor (which most vertical/uprights are, only a few are oil-free). Not only can it NOT be used horizontally, it cannot be transported horizonatally with oil in the crankcase. Oil will seep out of the crankcase, past piston ring, and into the pump causing hyraulic lock.

Can the refrigertor be fixed after laying it down?
typically, a refrigerator should be transported upright, however, in the event that it has been laid on its side for transport, leaving it upright for a period of 24 hours without running will typically allow it to be used with no ill effect. However, if the refrigerator has been plugged in and the compressor has been run "dry" it may not be salvageable.

The risk with transporting it laying down is that the glass panel has a significantly higher chance of cracking than when in an upright position.
