No, don't worry. If you see a turtle on land then it's probably basking or laying eggs. It's best to just leave them alone. They might look dead but are probably just asleep. I have a baby aquatic turtle that climbs up to his favorite rock and sleeps there for a hour or 2 under the basking lamp every day. As you can see there's nothing to worry about.
