Concern for baby read eared slider

have a heater, filter, lamp, basking spot, and I’m getting a uv lamp today. Rescued this little guy baking in the sun miles away from any water. He isn’t going into the water on his own, and the few times he has, he just floats and goes straight back to the basking area. I’ve had him for a week and he hasn’t eaten, and when he floats it’s not on his side or anything, and no other symptoms of respiratory infection are there. Is it stress? Or is something wrong with him?
