could be due to poor water quality or he may have hurt him self on something sharp in the tank.
Id test the water.
Is he in tank on his own as it may be caused by another fish attacking him

Most likely this is the result of fighting if there are any other fish in the tank. If not, you are dealing with a bacterial infection and will want to treat the Oscar as quickly as you can to prevent the problem from becoming an internal infection. I would suggest Maracyn or Maracyn TC as good choices for treatment. Just follow the directions on the package.
