If you do not own a specific type of catfish that swims upside-down, then your fish has a problem with it's swim bladder.
You should fast your fish for 3 days, then begin feeding it cooked de-shelled peas twice a day for three days to help clear constipation.
In addition, make sure your tank water is very clean by keeping up with regular maintenance including water changes of at least 50%.
SBD (Swim Bladder Disease) is not always treatable, and sometimes a fish does not survive, but if treated early enough, the rate of success is higher.
