I have a 38 gallon tank kept at 75 degrees with a good amount of algae so I picked up a nerite snail to live in that tank and help clean out some of that algae. When I put the snail in that tank he won’t budge. Sits there for 3 days, doesn’t move at all. I take that same snail out and stick it in an old unheated plastic pretzel rod container that I float some spare plants in, and he comes to life as happy as can be. I wish I knew how to get him going in my larger tank.
 
It was most likely getting used to its surroundings. Snails and other invertebrates can go for days without moving, when they are first added to the tank. I would add the snail back to the 38g tank.
