Chances are your fish is either dead or going to die. Floating is never a good sign, fish do not normally play dead.

It's dead. Goldfish don't swim upside down. Poke the goldfish, and if it continues to not move, then it's dead. Goldfish don't like being poked.

Yes your fish is dead, if it was layed on the bottom of the tank at any point then that means that it got sick first. Maybe your friend should figure out if she did anything wrong or not before she gets another fish, or the same problem may occur.

if it moves its tail its alive but dying, if it is moved because you poked the tank its dead.
