it could be the water temperature changed, or something got into the water and changed the ph value. maybe you used bad water. it could be a ton of things, really.

You probably have a toxic buildup of ammonia and nitrites in your tank. You need to do a water change.

You should test the water and research the nitrogen cycle. Cleaning the filter is generally a big no-no because all of your necessary bacteria live in there.
