turtles need uva/uvb light and a heat lamp for basking they have special glands under their legs to take in vitamens and will die if they do not have this. If the turtle is sick from not have enough heat simply dip the turtle in water if not already wet and place on basking spot you may also need to call your vetrinarian for vitamen suplements and antibiotics if the turtle does not start looking better in 24-48 hours. make sure the tank is set up right and has uva/uvb light,heat lamp for basking,turtle dock,decoration and background for security,a good filter,staple diet of turtle pellets and ocasionlly soft bugs like crickets, mealworms, beatles fish but noooo goldfish repeat noooo goldfishas this can cause kidney failure but guppies are fine.hope this helps and good luck.
