Yep. And I'd stop with feeding your turtles feeders. There are many better alternatives out there like crickets and earthworms along with some plant material.
 
I had a frt that i transferred from old tank to new tank. It was out of water for awhile. It was floating for couple days and started to sink and was fine. Your turtle was out of the water for so long so probably in bad shape.
