This is refferred to as swim bladder disease. There are three main things according to the posts and articles I've read that can lead to swimbladder disease. Constipation due to overfeeding, bad water quality and/or bacteria. First, do a 30% water change, taking care not to stress the fish by having the water temp as near to the tank as possible. After your water change you should not feed your fish any food for a day. On the second day feed your fish a fresh pea. Frozen peas thawed, popped out of the skin, and cut into bite size pieces. And then do another water change so that any uneaten peas do not contaminate your water. If you don't use aquarium salt this is a good addition to most tanks. The recommended dose is one teaspoon per gallon, or one tablespoon per five gallons.

your fish is dieing when it stops swimming sideways and not swimming at all its dead so just flush it or do you even clean out the fish bowl because if you hardly do that your fish can get a disses from not doing that that's all

That's fish language and it translates to, 'Get a battery operated pet'.
