This will not fix immediately but really importent to address .....UVB and cacium essential for strong shell growth. Can you also buy a cuttle fish bone (great for cacium) normally available in pet shops for pet birds. Keep that in the enclosure 100% of the time. They can ignore for months and then suddenly bite it and consume alot.
Oh! Thank you very much! I'll buy the cuttle fish bone

Get a good UVB light, like Tom says. They are on Amazon. It will take a couple days to get to you, so, in the meantime, take your tortoise outside. 20 minutes on sunny warm days, even after the bulbs arrive. Your local pet store might carry them too. Calcium on their food a couple times a week.
good luck:)
Or Cuttlefish.
