If you mean flounder, it means to act in a clumsy manner. Typically used to describe a ship that has lost power and is being tossed about on the ocean.

To founder, on the other hand, means to sink. It is also used to describe a ship which was formerly on an ocean. "It foundered on the rocks" means it hit the rocks and sank.
