HI, Pinkky. Sorry your O seems to be having a problem. Could we get a little more info from you?

What other fish are in the tank with your Oscar? Were any added recently?
Do you have a water test kit? If so, what are the readings for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate? What kind of filtration are you using?

Thanks in advance.
