EMERGENCY!!! HELP!!!

My hermit crab has recently begun to drag his legs when he walks. He is a shy boy, so he doesn't come out much, but he has been recently and he is not able to stand up correctly. His shell is tipped forward, almost like he is leaning on the rim of his shell. When he walks, it is like he is using the tops of his legs and not the bottoms where his pinchers are. The other two crabs are fine. I do not know what is going on or what to do!

Thanks help

Can you post a photo so we can picture what you mean?
