If you can see that the fishes gills are still opening and closing, the fish is still breathing. The most important thing is to change its water ASAP. It may still die if you do change its water from the damage done to its gills by ammonia. The commonest thing that kills fish in captivity is the Ammonia in the water that is produced by the fish living and breathing in the water. That is why fish keepers have a basic set of minimum conditions. They are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water, a cycled filter to remove the ammonia produced by aquatic life, and a minimum of 50% water changed weekly to remove the nitrate produced in the filter.
