It may be because the main source of light is from the side and the fish is trying to balance itself and make sense of the light source in its autonomous systems. It is more likely however that the fish has a swim bladder problem. If this is so, then to the best of my knowledge there is no reliable cure/treatment and the fish is best euthanased.
