Ugh... sorry to hear this. Yes, you should probably take him to a vet. If he's not moving at all (getting up, walking about), then there's a good chance he's suffering from related issues from one of the common diseases like feline leukemia or kitty AIDS.
If not treated, your kitten will probably suffer kidney failure or some other catastrophic system shutdown and die.
It is possible, of course, he's suffered an injury, and taking him to your vet would be the thing to do their too.
We've fostered hundreds of strays, and we lose a lot of kittens to this stuff. It's the most dangerous time for them. If he survives to six months, cats can usually live a happy, long life with proper medical care. If this cat is a stray, hasn't had shots or been checked, or is from a stray, then definitely get him checked. Even if he isn't, it's still possible. The visit and diagnosis shouldn't run more than $75, and then you can decide what to do.
But please, do something. If it is the above, he'll suffer greatly for many hours before he dies.

The cat must go to a vet ASAP. He is obviously in serious pain. We can't determine the source of the pain here, but the vet can. Hurry, it could be a life and death situation and the time passing is not helping. Has he peed by the way? He could be blocked, in which case he must go to the vet within the necxt few minutes!

Take your kitty to the vet immediatly! There are lots of things that could be wrong, if its poisened you may not be able to help it unless you go out the door now! My dog almost died from poison, if I wouldnt have gotten to the vet when I did (I almost didnt go, she seemed like she just had a stick in her throught) Jade would have died.

If he is acting strange, you should check with your vet. After being boarded for a few days, "Oreo" acted very lethargic and wouldn't eat. He was sick. You obviously love your kitty so be on the safe side and get him checked. Hopefully he is fine.

Take him to a vet! I forget what he has, but, I read a story about a cat in a magazine that was doing this, and she had a life-threatening disease! Hurry! Bring her to a vet immediately!!!!

He may have hurt himself or is sick somehow. You should probably take him to the vet since he isn't eating.
