Hi, this could be a mantle tear. You need to get him lots of protein rich foods like peas. He needs calcium and he needs to be in a smaller tank. You can also try giving him repticalium with D3, but only small amounts. If he is having trouble moving and you can see clear down his shell it is probably a mantle collapse. I hope this helps! (mantle tears often heal quickly so lets hope it is just a mantle tear)

Hi, I also want to add, that if you are able to enclose some pics, you can get better and more accurate help!
Second, since you mentioned antibiotics, I want to point out that they can be very very dangerous for snails, you should never give them unless you are following some vet prescription..
