Lizard is lethargic and jaw clicking

[KieraBuddy]

Hello, I’m new to this website and for a while my lizard has been lying on the cool side of his cage and not moving at all. He gets cold and looks dark so I sometimes move him onto the warmer side. I’ve also noticed that when he yawns and eats his jaw clicks. His eyes do look a bit sunken in which I’ve read it’s from them being dehydrated even though he always has water in his cage but the only way I’ve seen him drink it is if I move the water around to make it move. I’m really worried and I think it’s my fault because I’m not doing something right (I know I need to improve some things). I’m not sure if it’s his lights or food or something I just want him to be better. He is about 7 years old. Thank you to anyone who can help me and any advice is helpful.
