One of my dwarf platies' back tail won't move so everytime he trys to swim he sinks to the bottom and is exausted. Is there anything i can do for him? The tail looks like it's locked or something. Please help, Thanks

This sounds like physical damage to the fishes spine or possibly a very unusual and impossible to treat disease that causes nerve damage along the spine. In either case, unfortunately there is nothing you can do for the fish. If it's damage, it's possible it may heal, but highly doubtful. If it's disease related there is no chance of recovery at all. Personally, I would recommend you humanely euthanize the fish.
Sorry to have to tell you that, but it's the honest answer.
