Distilled water on its own will be bad for the betta. If you want to use distilled mix it with tap water about a third tap water. The distilled is pure water with no minerals not good for fish, you would probably be better with dechlorinated tap water. If you have just been using distilled then gradually change the water over a few days with tap water. The temperature may also be an issue, if you don’t have a heater, too much fluctuation is not good, they need the temperature pretty constant. Also if you don’t have a filter there may be ammonia or nitrate stressing the fish.
Hope he gets better
