What are your four temps? Warm side, cool side, basking spot and night temp? Lack of appetite can be because of low temps.

That could be the problem right there. Keep him warm day and night. Also soak him daily in warm water for about 30 mins see if that helps.

We would love to help you, but we need more info. Plz post pics and get his heat up. Get him in a warm soak. Water about 94F and an inch or so deep in a container he can't get out of.

I'm sorry this happened to your little baby. Do I warm soak, then get some of his favorite food, and make sure it is enclosure is warm enough. Then leave him alone for a little bit and let him relax. He probably just got cold and then was a little disoriented when his enclosure was rearranged. To keep this from happening again if you have to leave your tortoise in the care of your family, I would write down care instructions that are very specific. Show them how things are done and explain to them why. And if they get to know and like your tortoise and they will be more careful how they care for him when we were gone.
