Goldfish are pretty hard to sex unless you're very good at it such as a breeder, but in shubunkins, typically the female will be plumper than the male

Is the shubunkin ill the fish keeps swimming down to the bottom of the tank and as he reaches the bottom he flips onto his side and skims across the gravel only for a split second.is he ill?

Yes, you´re Shubunkin is sick and will most likely soon be dead. Sorry to tell you , but this is just the way it is. If you´ve other fish in the tank then it´s best to remove this sick fish a.s.a.p. and bring it to a separate tank. Check the tank for rotting plants, not eaten food, etc. Remove all of these as best as you can. Check the filter and air pump. If possible test the water in the tank for ammonia & nitrate. If you don´t want to test or can´t test the water, just gently replace half of the water with clean water of the same temperature and repeat this after one week. In theory you can give the sick Shubunkin medicine, in in practice this is not very useful. If you insist then you can treat the sick fish in the separate tank. Never use medicine in the main tank, if you´ve also other fish in it. If your Shubunkin is finally dead, give it a proper funeral: bury it in your garden and put flowers on top. If you do this the spirit of the fish will give you good luck to continue your aquarium hobby.
