If you can post a pic, that would help... but sounds like it still has a yolk sac still attached to him? Not ruptured, I hope? If so, then he needs to stay still until he finishes absorbing the yolk... you DO NOT want that to fall off, as if it is torn open at all he will more than likely not survive, at the least it could get infected...
If it is yolk, set him up in a small cup with steep sides so he can't get out and damage it... once it is absorbed, then he can try walking... hope this helps and good luck!
