No, sometimes they float on their side. But some whales have "negative bouyancy" which takes them to the bottom when they can no longer swim.

When they float to the surface it means they are starting to go rotten and fill up with bacteria. I guess the fish has been dead for some time.

Sometimes they do. The decomposition process may sometimes produce gasses which become trapped in the body/flesh/frame of the fish and cause it to float.
