Welcome to the forum, @Dinamary .

Please post pics of your tort and his/her enclosure so as to enable us to help you more easily.

Read the "Beginners Mistakes" Thread and the care sheets and keep asking questions if and when you need help.

Where do you live and what is the weather like back there now?

When did this start? When did he last eat and what are the temps and humidity of his enclosure? Soak him in warm water for 15 mins twice daily (which it sounds like your doing so well done.) Are you sure he's not just basking? If he is not responsive, lightly tap his head and if he doesn't move, open his eye lid.

Hi Dinamary, and welcome to the Forum!

You've not given us much to go on. It's like you called the doctor on the phone and said my arm hurts when I do this. Then hang up without showing or telling him more info.

It would be a big help to us if we could see a picture of the tortoise's habitat, with the tortoise in the picture. Also show us the lights.
