My baby cooter (water turtle) is acting really wierd and I am scared that he is ill. He wont eat anything and is not active and is spending most of his time on the floating dock. I have had him for 3 months and I know how to take care of water turtles (I have a filter, water heater, floating dock, large aquarium, heat lamp, proper diet of krill, commercial food, apples, and lettuce, and sometimes fish….) He also keeps doing this thing with his mouth where he opens it and looks like he is trying to make some kind of noise but he cant. PLEASE help!
Well that sucks. Thanks for answering anyway.

Definitely turn up the water temperature, this will help it get better if it is sick. It honestly sounds like it is just too cold. My turtle was doing that too then I realized my water heater was broken. The action your are describing with its mouth could be a sign of a respiratory infection. Like I said, turn up the water temperature and maybe take it outside to sun bath for a bit. If it starts to cough or wheeze, you will have to take it to a vet for an antibiotic.
I had the same problem and my turtle died shortly after. I wish the best for you
