I think my betta fish is dying i dont know how to help!

i dont know whats wrong but he wont eat his tank is perfect on ammonia and like PH stuff hes in a 5 gallon but he sinks to the bottom and i let his food sit in water before i feed him we havent had him super long but i love him and dont know what to do he wont swim he barely moves im really scared i did something that may have caused this but i really want to try and help him get better please if anyone knows anything that may help him swim or eat tell me im desperat!

first is the day we got him second is now

Edit: He swam a little and is upright laying on a rock he seems to be breathing a little better now but im about to go to bed ill probably updste tommorow

Edit 2: he sadly passed away this morning i understand what i did wrong completely and i would love another fish but i dont belive i deserve one after what i did to this one. i dont really know what to do in this situation as i would love another fish but i dont want anything to happen to it ans he jsut randomly got very sick very quickly. Thank you so much for everyone who tried to help i really apprecate it!

Fish help

We have had my betta for not super long probably about three months but they have suddenly become lithargic and they seem to sink alot and go to the top for air alot and we have a pretty good filter from what i know that should be giving them enough oxygen. the tank is on the taller side but it is a five gallon tank we dont have any live plants in it only plastic im desperately trying to get him a shallower tank that is wider with sand and live plants but i jsut dont have the money right now and i dont know how to tell my parents that they need that kind of tank to thrive. im jsut very worried about my fish and i dont want them to pass away or have any long term issues they have no discolouration or anything like that and nothing that looks like a parisite but they have just been lithargic and they barely swim and i keep thinking they are dead. please if anyon knows anything that could help do say im desperate to make sure they are okay!
