i have seen this before. don't think there is anything you can do. turn the lights out to reduce stress. hopefully it will snap out of it. with my experience the fish died. they are sensitive to drastic changes.

My silver does the same. Very social, but after one day I moved him to his own 75 he constantly freaks out. Been like that for months now.

Oh great hope he dont die i left the lights on all night to see if he can get used to it again but all he does is swim round in a circle and jump . Leason learned when going on hol put a light timmer on tank . As for tank mates yes 5 motoros

Ya its better if you can keep the lights consistant with a timer. Much easier and the fish tend to not freak out. He may have been pissed you left him and in the dark none the less.
