A goldfish that is healthy will swim around with their fins up and behave as you expect a fish to behave.
When a fish is ill, it may spend all of it's time sitting on the bottom of the tank, they may have their fins clamped against their body, or they are surfacing at the top of the tank for air.
There may also be other signs such as a problem floating upright, blood red streaks in their fins, fungus on their body, sores, or even torn fins just to name a few possibilities.
