my platy has been swimming kinda weird and doesn’t like like she’s doing good right now
 
Here’s a pic of her lying down(it won’t let me post a pic)
 
Post a picture and short 20 second video of the fish?
If the pictures are too big for the website, set the camera's resolution to its lowest setting and take some more. The lower resolution will make the images smaller and they should fit on this website. Check the pictures on your pc and find a couple that are clear and show the problem, and post them here. Make sure you turn the camera's resolution back up after you have taken the pics otherwise all your pictures will be small.

If the video is too big for this website, post it on YouTube and copy & paste the link here. We can view it at YouTube. If you are using a mobile phone to take the video, have the phone horizontal so the video takes up the entire screen. If you have the phone vertical, you get video in the middle and black on either side.

--------------------------
How long has the tank been set up for?
What is the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH of the tank water (in numbers)?
How often do you do water changes and how much water do you change?
Do you gravel clean the substrate when you do a water change?
Do you dechlorinate the new water before adding it to the tank?
What sort of filter do you have and how do you clean it?
How long have you had the fish for?
How long has the fish been swimming weird?

It’s to late now she died and I found out sadly it was ich
 
Did she have any small white spots on her body?
Was she rubbing on any objects in the tank?
If no, then she probably did not have Ich (whitespot).

You should check your water quality, and do a 75% water change and gravel clean the substrate. Make sure any new water is free of chlorine/ chloramine before it's added to the tank.
Post pictures of the remaining fish and we will check them for diseases.
