That really depends on how long it is staying still for. Some fish are capable of just sitting there and fanning water across their gills so that they can breathe. This means that they can sit there until they eventually starve and die.

Whats wrong with your fish if it wont swim or float but its not dead?
Perhaps its in a sort of shock? If the fish in question is a new pet fish, I mean. Normally when you buy a new fish, it comes in a plastic baggie. You're supposed to place the sealed baggy (with fish/water still inside) into its new fish tank. This makes the water in the baggy slowly change to the temperature of the water in the fish tank, and prevents the fish from undergoing the "shock" that accompanies dumping it into a different temperature environment.
